dPoIC : Download
You can try the dPoIC theme. Before download, please understand this is still in experimental. Also please leave “pileofindexcards.org” signature on the theme to manifest this is a result of “The Pile of Index Cards” works. Download, unzip, and then put the file in “~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Keynote/Themes/” directory. I made this theme with Keynote 3.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Base font is Helvetica.
Read PoIC Manual for “how to use it?” kind of question. This is just a replacement of index cards in analog PoIC on a computer. For Keynote, please read Keynote’s manual and help, or ask apple support center.
This is built for myself. But I’m happy if it is useful for you, too ;)
Tips
Set “Copy audio and movies into document” in the Keynote’s preference. Then we can extract digital files in the slide by opening package of the Keynote file later.

As a folder icon for your “Dock” folder, why not use the picture of the “Dock” itself from Correct Co.’s Web site?
1. Point your browser to Correct’s product catalog:
http://www.correct.co.jp/04shn/indexsm.html
2. Drag the picture of the Dock from their product page to your desktop.
3. Convert the picture to an icon. You can use Graphic Converter to assign a preview icon to the image, or you can use the free application img2icns to create a “folder icon.” You can download img2icns here:

4. Once you have created the icon from the picture, change the current folder icon of the “Dock” folder to the icon created in step 3:
• Select the icon created in step 3 and press Command-C (Copy).
• Open the Get Info window of the “Dock” folder.
• Click once on the current folder icon (top-left corner) for the Dock. You’ll note a highlight appears around the folder.
• Press Command-V (Paste) to replace the folder icon with the icon created in step 3.
• Close the Get Info window.
The “Dock” folder will now show the picture of the physical dock you employ in aPoIC.

Thanks a lot :)
I could make Dock icon with Graphic Converter.
I’m long time Mac user (and also GC) but I’ve never make icon by myself.

You’re welcome.
You could also use any of your own photos of your “Dock” as the icon, such as those in the PoIC set on Flickr.
Creating an icon from a photo is easy, as I described above. If you have been using GC and have selected “Create Preview” in its Preferences under Save > General, then every photo edited and saved in GC has a preview icon as its icon. Any such photo can then be used in step 4 above as the icon for another file or folder.

Thanks for this deck, Hawk.
I find that my scanned in Moleskine notebooks are just about exactly the same size as my Keynote edit window, which is somehow quite encouraging.
My next step is to scan in a blank page and then to put that image as the background, so that I can have a quadrille card in my collection and not just plain white.

You love quadrille :)
