January 2023 Calendars

New month, new year, new calendar . . . oh, and Happy New Year!

Note: you should see six calendars in this post . . . if you don’t, just reload the page as sometimes they’re slow to load.

Since I have mucho many AI offerings, I will be using them for the calendars. . . or I will until I get tired of AI-created stuff. Here is the first of the January offerings:

As before, I don’t expect anyone — in this digital assistant age — to actually use a paper calendar, but a few readers said they’ve used them, so I’ll continue to offer them.

December 2022 calendars

Last month of the year, and I’m actually on time offering up a calendar.

I used to do monthly calendars, but I discontinued the practice beginning of 2016. The last monthly calendar I posted before this year was for December 2015.

This is the December 2022 Calendar I created at the beginning of the year (actually, at the end of last year).

Really, I don’t expect anyone — in this digital assistant age — to actually use a paper calendar (although many still do; they get them for free at banks and other places) . . .

November 2022 calendars

Once again, I’m a tad late with this, but I’m presenting these for continuity.

October 2022 calendars

I’m a tad late with this, but I figure I’d present this for continuity.

August 2022 calendars

I used to do monthly calendars, but I discontinued the practice beginning of 2016. The last monthly calendar I posted prior to this year was for December 2015. And that’s why this year it keeps slipping my mind.

The last calendar I offered up was for March. Mind you, I had all intentions of doing one every month (considering they’re already done, not much of an effort), but it slipped my mind. This is the August Calendar I created at the beginning of the year (actually, the end of last year).

Really, I don’t expect anyone — in this digital assistant age — to actually use a paper calendar (although many still do; they get them for free at banks and other places) . . .

March 2022 calendars

I used to do monthly calendars, but I discontinued the practice beginning of 2016. The last monthly calendar I posted was for December 2015. Those calendars involved a fair amount of effort and the use of multiple tools. For example, the March 2014 calendar involved processing the Mammoth Hot Springs photos, setting up the Excel spreadsheets for the dates, notes, and holidays, and then merging the lot using Photoshop. The end result (example below) included a link to a legal-sized version for them who might have wanted to print it (very few did and none of you have to for the current calendars, either).

February 2022 calendars — monochrome edition

In my previous post (LINK), I discriminated against two groups . . . them who don’t have color printers and people who are colorblind.

Some comments (indirectly) pointed to the folly of providing a printable calendar in this age of the digital phone with integrated and sinched calendars across multiple platforms. And, in fact, I rarely print a calendar because I put all my events, reminders, appointments on my Google calendar and schedule email reminders and alerts so that I don’t miss or forget an appointment.

I occasionally have the need to consult calendars in a more tactile way, so I like the option of printing either a few months at a time or a yearly version.

For the rare people who don’t know, you can find free Word and Excel templates online for almost any type of calendar you might imagine. Not to mention, but I will, many, many, PDF versions of different styles and formats ranging from weekly to yearly (and some longer). Obviously, but I’ll still mention it, you can customize the templates (if you have the skills) but the PDF you just print as is (unless you have serious skills and a PDF editor and the files aren’t locked).

If you don’t have Microsoft Office, you can get free Office Suites compatible with MS Office. And, further, those templates could be uploaded to Google Docs or Sheets, and, if you don’t like Google, ZoHo offers online office suites free to individuals. I have a ZoHo account and it includes email and apps very similar to Google. For the xenophobes, be aware that it’s an Indian company.

But, none of them options will get you a calendar with one of my photos! … er … unless you get the PanosFx add-on to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, and you have either of those apps, and you steal one of my photos (please don’t do that without asking). But, why go to all that trouble when I give these versions to you for free?

. . . here are a few more . . .

February 2022 calendars

I used to do monthly calendars, but I discontinued the practice beginning of 2016. The last monthly calendar I posted was for December 2015. Those calendars involved a fair amount of effort and the use of multiple tools. For example, the May 2015 calendar made use of at least four different PanosFx actions (most of them free).

Let me show you another example . . .

Happy 2022 and some calendars

Well, 2021 hightailed it outta here at the last possible moment of the last possible day of the last possible month of the year, and it’s now up to 2022 to dazzle us with normalcy (we hope).

I’m reusing a photo from December 2016, our first New Year’s Eve in Hawaiʻi . . . a time that now seems centuries ago. It’s been three years since we left the islands, and I can’t say they’ve been great years.

And I’m not just referring to the pandemic and the apparent ~~stupidity~~ insanity running rampant in the land. Still, we’re healthy (for now) and there are some things we can be grateful for. For now, that will have to do.

As we head into a somewhat uncertain 2022, I wish all my readers, be they family, friends, or just passing through, good health, peace of mind, and the fortitude to navigate these sometimes difficult times.

Ahead of the game 2018 calendars – Final (this time, for real!)

Note: I copied the original post instead of writing everything anew. If you read Part 1 or Part 2 or Part 3 or Part 4 or Part 5 or Part 6 Part 7 or Part 8 or Part 9 or Part 10 or Part 11 or Part 12 or Part 13 or Final, you can skip most of the writing and just go to the calendars section. Can’t stop now or they win.

I used to do monthly calendars, but they were a lot of work and few people bothered downloading them. At the beginning of 2016, I switched to doing a yearly calendar . . . which I did not do for 2017.

The calendars I did were neat prism yearly calendar generated using one of the free actions PanosFX offers to subscribers and people who register at his site. It lets someone, let’s say me, create a prism yearly calendar. Like, for instance, these.

Each three-sided calendars can be customized with any set of three photos. You can change the colors (I left them as they are), the language (I left them in English), and choose whether you want the week to start on Sunday or Monday (I left it on Sunday).

Now, the above photos are the ones I had done for 2016. I show them so I can give people an idea of what they look like (I don’t currently have a color printer hence why the old photos), but I’m doing new calendars for 2018. Panos made a few improvements and I decided to dump a bunch of calendars here. If you want to download the action and make your own calendar (you need Photoshop or Elements), click HERE. All you have to do is register and you get any of the free actions (high quality and fun to use).
