Thursday, February 4, 2010what's up for the yearIf you're like me, you need to see "the big picture." Usually over the winter months, I start sketching out my plans for the whole year. For example, I try to tie camping trips to good night skies. In the past, I directly maintained a "calendar" on this page. It was essentially a top-down listing of events for the year, divided by each month. Which I would update from time to time, adding new items, and striking out past events. Never really was satisfied with this format and style. More importantly, it didn't work for me: it was not push. I want something in my face, I want something on my regularly used computer(s), I want something that will catch my eye. You too?! So, now, today, I use a combination of technologies. I maintain a set of events in a Yahoo!Calendar; I use a Yahoo!Widget to monitor this calendar. It works great. I'm much more dialled into events happening now. For significant events, I make the calendar e-mail me reminders! Why not regularly view my shared Yahoo!Calendar. It supports Day, Week, Month, List, and other views. http://ca.calendar.yahoo.com/lumpydarkness@rocketmail.com It is written specifically for the south-western Ontario locale.
