Geeking Out: Firefox Quick Add for Google Calendar
Just to geek out for a moment, the Quick Add for Google Calendar add-in for Firefox is nifty. Hit a hotkey from anywhere in Firefox, enter some freeform text in a pop-up box -- like "media interview tomorrow at 12:20" -- and your Google Calendar is instantly populated in the background with the right event, time, and place.
No muss, no fuss, no ugly forms, and no context switch to a calendaring app required. Nice.

As an unrelated aside, I'm trying out Microsoft's Windows Live Writer for content creation/editing here. I usually use Scribefire, but it has some irritating bugs, and isn't being updated much anymore. I'm liking Live Writer more than I expected.
