I’ve been playing around with iCalViewer for a few days now. It’s an interesting hack which pulls your iCal calendar and splashes it across your desktop, below your windows and icons, but riding above your background screen.

Right now its best feature is that it’s making it easier for me to keep timeblock appointments with myself to get things done; harder to ignore something when you can see it creeping up to the “now” line all day long. But even if it weren’t particularly useful, it still gets plenty of points for looking cool.
