Todd Bingham showed me this nifty application this afternoon. I don't know what it took to set it up, I do know it's Windows-only, he said it can be synched with your Outlook Exchange calendar, and I know from seeing it that it's about as useful a took as you could hope to find, a great little calendar that becomes a part of your desktop.

By Inge Ignatia de Waard. In the past year I have been adding some Instructional Design descriptions in my notebook.
