Speaking of the digital trend, one outfit has come full circle. Doodle, an online scheduling service, now has a paper option if you want it — remember paper? What goes around, we guess, folds around. Seriously, the company explains that "Doodle Unplugged runs on a piece of paper and was designed by our offline user interface experts." (Their PR experts probably had something to do with it too.)

You download the paper scheduling form as a PDF file, so there's still a digital connection. But paper is paper, and Doodle Unplugged runs on a piece of paper that "can be shared with the group by mail, fax, bicycle messenger, telegraph, or carrier pigeon....Basic users can just use regular printer paper, but you can become a premium user by simply using higher quality paper."

Too much. Thanks for sharing, Doodlers.
