Google Calendar

The last time I tried to use Google Calendar, I couldn’t successfully import my Apple iCal calendars; all the events would end up time shifted 8 hours. I finally found some time to try again this afternoon, and the import works flawlessly. Goodbye Apple iCal!

Now that I have all my calendars imported (also did some cleaning–I have just six calendars now), I’m thoroughly impressed. I’m always in month or week view, and both are on par with Apple iCal in terms of look and usability. I’d almost miss iCal’s todo list, were it not the fact that I label all emails from myself starting with “todo:” in GMail.

On the other hand, I have one more reason to regret buying a Mac. It’s really just turned into an iTunes jukebox and a recharger for my iPod.
