NEW YORK – A New York City man has designed a calendar that will drive Bubble Wrap fanatics popping-mad.
The Daily News of New York reports in Thursday editions that Stephen Turbek is selling a poster-size calendar covered with the plastic bubbles. Customers can pop a bubble each day to mark the passage of time.
The Brooklyn man says he has sold thousands of Bubble Calendars. A handmade calendar with paper backing is available online for $30 and a plastic version costs $50.
Turbek says it makes a perfect gift for obsessive people — as long as they don't pop the whole year on the first day they get it.

These things are cool! If I hadn't already bought an '09 calendar I'd be getting one for myself. There's always 2010 though. They can be purchased online at bubblecalendar.com, but you'll need some wall space, they're poster-sized (48"x18" or 122cm x 46cm). Here's a picture I borrowed from the website:
