Designs for a readable business-card-sized calendar

Elizar of the Elzr blog has challenged his readers to come up with a design for a business-card sized calendar that doesn't resort to teeny-weeny eye-strain-o-rama type to squeeze an entire year onto the card. There are soem damned ingenious solutions here (shown below, Joe Lanman's design).

It all started because my 48-year-old mom, bless her, can’t read small type very well. She has trouble using little calendar cards because the day numerals are so small and last time she complained I paused and empathized with her travail. The problem, it was suddenly obvious, was not only the marketing debris that encroaches upon every poor card but rather the quite wasteful scheme we use for representing a year—the same table with the same thirty-something numbers over and over.
