Google Calendar

Let me just clear the air here: I love my Google Calendar.

I recommend it. I tell friends about it. I say they should have one too.

So far I have six personal calendars in one, plus US Holidays and phases of the moon. I can select which calendars I want to view, making the view either very simple or full and complete. All my calendars are color coded based on my preference.

To give an idea, I have separate calendars for bills, birthdays, concerts, Eagles games, and then just personal stuff.

I defaulted mine to the monthly view, but you can view by day, week, next 7 days or choose an agenda view.

And it’s pretty. It’s fast. It’s easy.

I can access my Google Calendar at work, at home, at a friends house, wherever.

Weather is shown as a tiny icon on today and on the next few days. Roll over for a brief description.

I want a scrybe account, but I’m still on the waiting list, apparently. Their calendar looks sick. Go to their site and watch the video. Pretty crazy. I <3 Web 2.0.

If you don’t have a Google Account, the calendar might be a reason to get one. Or get on the waiting list for scrybe.

PS – I have Outlook 2003 at work. It’s old school, sorta, and I always forget how to access it from home.
