Search Query: Where Will I Be Next Thursday Around Threeish?

Google introduces an online calendar program. It's getting good buzz in various other blogs that I won't bother linking to here. The lead to the linked USA Today article reads:

Hoping to beef up the underperforming online calendar market, Internet search giant Google late Wednesday introduced a calendar service notable for easy-access sharing among friends and family.

Do... do what? There's an online calendar market? According to the article Yahoo, AOL, and MSN already offer this service. I guess I knew this, in the same sense that I know these companies will also track stocks for me, and that I have no desire for them to ever do this.

Google hosts my blog and my email; I'm already giving them plenty of free information, thanks. We'll let my daily whereabouts be a tantilizing mystery.

J-
Co-worker of Dulci's here. I think your blog is everything a blog should be. Imho, you're actually too good for _Seek_ in the sense that we'd probably have to bulldoze your subtlety for the bicmasses. (Don't tell D I told you so.) Not that you shouldn't go for it if the Dulcinator ever offers you anything either. You should check out www.geezmagazine.org.

Wow. Thanks! I love unsolicited praise!

But please, don't imagine I'm too cool for the room. For a decent word rate, I'd write Chick tracts.

I looked at Geez... I might not be cool enough for that room. Interesting that they have a former Adbusters guy on board. I'mna have to look at that in person.

chick tracts...that could actually be kind of fun. i didn't know what it was, so i googled it, and then recognized some of my favorites from childhood staring back at me from their website. my favorite witnessing idea was for while shopping: "Place a tract in the pockets of the clothes."

yes, the adbusters guy is why i checked geez out in the first place. i think you should definitely submit something.
