Pile of Index Cards

If I settle the icPod just in front of the Dock, the meaning of “Pod” is obvious.

The dock is used as card storage, and basically stable. On the other hand, the icPod (known as KM2P) holds cards up to a week’s, and mobile. The relationship looks like space ship and space plane in Sci-Fi. After check (review) process, the Pod leaves the Dock, and fly into a space again. :)

In the previous KM2P, it is difficult to imagine it’s time sequence since cards and week dividers are difficult to see. Now, with the new icPod, a temporal sequence of now-to-past correspods to a spacial sequence of here-to-there. It’s intuitive. Whole system is united.

This customize bring me two mental effects. One is that it is fun to see cards accumulate in the icPod as I write cards through week. This might be somewhat childish, but important for me. Second is the connecting dock makes clear a meaning of week review process : Connect, and send the cards to the Dock, empty icPod, and leave again. This is anothor fun stuff. :)
