iCal Calendar on Mac Desktop

Everytime I add an event to my Mac iCal Calendar, I set a reminder so I don’t forget. But overtime this gets annoying, so many popups. Sure, I could open my calendar, but if it’s not in front of me, I’m going to either ignore it or forget to check. There must be a way to stick your calendar on your desktop?

Well I googled and tried a bunch of apps but nothing really worked—till I found iCalViewer. What a wonderful program! I can select any of my calendars to show on my desktop, specify how far in the future I want (configurable for each calendar!) and it includes all day events along with birthdays (if you enter those into address book). Now, no more forgetting about some upcoming event. Well worth the $11!

Here’s a snapshot of it running on my desktop:

If there’s a helpful app or a way to make one better, you’ll find it.

If there’s a great bottle of wine, value-priced at TJ’s, you’ll find that, too.

Ted, you’re a genius! :)
