Simple amusement
The other day I was listening to the MacBreak Weekly podcast while I was at the gym and they talked about Uli's Moose, a redone version of the Mac classic, Talking Moose.

Google's CalDAV - Not quite the perfect solution
This is my main topic for the week! After converting all my calendars to use CalDAV, I've started to see the limitations.

Magic Google Calendar CalDAV fix

I enabled this and presto, everything now works. I know that one of the calendars I added I don't have write permissions to, so I simply don't modify it.
