Welcome to the future. While 2015 looks to be a bit different than what Robert Zemeckis predicted, self-driving cars and 3-D printing are all within our grasp.

For your personal calendar, what might you put on it this year? If you followed Geek Out Huntsville’s advice last year, you saw two of the top movies of the year (Guardians of the Galaxy & Interstellar), attend some awesome conventions, and did more Huntsville stuff than you could shake a Saturn V at.

Now, a brand new calendar has 365 squares begging for ink. What deserves to be penciled in?

Skip the mundane and add a little nerdiness to your planner.
