Wait, I can't buy this from him?! Anyone know of a place that I can get something similar? Or recommendations on the best was to make one?
Yeah that's brilliant, and it looks pretty great. This would probably make the whole thing much more complicated but it'd be nice if the "unused" days were invisible, and I agree that the name is a bit awkward. Beyond that though, awesome.
This would also have the effect of making the calendar less wide, so that it took us less wall space, at the cost of making it thicker.
If we had 13 months, all of them would have exactly 28 days. We would need and extra day in order to complete 365 days, but we could make it a special case (the first day of the year, for instance) not belonging to any month or week. Then all months would be alike, every 1st, 8th, 15th, etc, would be a Sunday, and so on. We would never need a calendar again.
I don't really know why, but I like the imperfectness of our calendar system now. Stupid stuff like February having only 29 days is pretty funny and those 7 days of December 25th to January 1st is perfect because its an exact week. It would be too boring if every month was the same. Could we have fun stuff like `April Showers Bring may Flowers' if every month was just the same 28 days? I'm sure we could, but everythi…
It could also be just familiarity with what I grew up with, I suppose.

This looks fantastic, but it doesn't give me any reference as to which month I'm actually looking at.... i.e. I drag the frame so that the 1st is a Saturday, but what month in what year am I looking at? Will the 1st of July 2015 be a Saturday, I have no idea from this.
I have this problem too. Am I supposed to be able to derive a date from the calendar? Am I missing some element on the page? I generally don't have a lot of interest in time, so I don't have whatever relevant knowledge this might require (if any).

It's a wall calendar - it only shows one month at a time - presumably, the current month.
How do I know how to set the current month, and how do I know how to advance to the next month? It feels like I'm missing something.

February has 28 days - 29 in a leap year.
Thirty days has September, April, June, and November; All the rest have thirty-one except February alone which has twenty-eight; Except on every fourth year, when it has 29; Except on years divisible by 100, when it has 28 again; Unless the year is also divisible by 1000, when it's back to 29.
Thirty days has September,
April, June, and November,
All the rest have thirty-one except February,
Which has four and twenty-four,
'til leap year gives it one day more.Cool, but it seems you need to remember how many days are in the current month yes? It always shows a full 31 days.
