Current Obsession - Hipster PDA

redroseSo, now that I have my life pretty much organized into a 1/2" binder, I want something smaller. Something I can throw into a bag, maybe even into a pocket... how's about a Hipster PDA?
While at Target last night, I found an inexpensive 3X5 index card holder, which should hold up 100 or more index cards. It's purple, though I suspect it will eventually be duct tape colored. And my Fisher Space Pen fits nicely into it.
I'm currently deciding what gets moved to this thing. I have my six categories I file my life under, and there are 5 tabs that come with the folder, so that works. Then I'll need a calendar for this week, a calendar for next week, a calendar that runs a month at a time, and a phone book would be nice.
There might be some way to transfer what I have in OpenOffice files over.
One site listed below shows how to move information out of iCal into the HipsterPDA. This might be nice because then I have a backing-up-automatically electronic calendar, and the paper one to refer to when away from my computer.
So far, these are the Hipster links:

D.I.Y. planner preformatted sheets; most awesome! and also the Open Office files to make your own: http://www.diyplanner.com/templates/official/hpda
The iCal to hipster info: http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2005/09/ical_to_hpda_printing.html
Pocketmod, not a hipster, but cool anyway: http://pocketmod.com/
