I’ve not written anything on a paper calendar or DayTimer for more than two years; my cal is on the clouds with Google Calendar– We have all of the NMC stuff using it on our enterprise set of GoogleApps, for individuals and several group/project ones, and I can access and schedule them with my typically logged in setup for CogDogBlog. It is almost fun to be organized. But a new little tool makes it even better than a fresh bone.
