The Joy of Tech wishes you a Happy iCal Day

iCalhathead 20070716 225302 The Joy of Tech wishes you a Happy iCal DayOn this date in 2002 at the Macworld Expo in New York, Steve Jobs introduced iCal. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of iCal and I don’t think it is a particularly great program. Its icon comes pre-applied to every user account’s dock and, unless you actually use it, it stares at you all year long with the same date displayed. Finally, today, that date is actually correct–July 17th… iCal Day!

How should one celebrate iCal Day?
