and it begins...

Anyone who knows me is aware of my complete incapacity to remember future events and specific dates (holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, event plans, etc.). I've been meaning to find a "good online calendar" for a while now, and decided "well, I'll wait until Google comes out with one." I figured that since they didn't have one, I could use its nonexistence as an excuse to actually keeping track of things.

Well, as of today, I can't do that anymore. Google's managed to come up with a slick calendar webapp that's fully integrated with your other gServices. Best feature so far is the natural language event creation... it even detects events that you might be talking about in your emails and makes it a quick affair to add it to your calendar. Throw in easy sharing, public/private events, and RSS/XML syndication, and you've got one hell of a tool.

So, I've started adding events. If I start showing up for things on time, or confirming things with you a few days in advance, at least you'll know why.
