Question of the Day: What Gadgets Do You Use to Keep Your Life Organised?
Posted by Sean Fallon at 7:20 AM on September 5, 2008
I have to admit, I am nothing without my mobile—my whole life is crammed into that thing. Back in the day I wandered around aimlessly—my appointments scribbled down here and there on random scraps of paper. Fortunately, I manage to keep up these days because the software makes it easy and my phone is always close at hand. That having been said, I'm curious to know what tools you use to keep your schedule organised.

Oh, Google is just so great! They have the best free email, calendar, chat, photo and document sharing services, so why not use them all? Well, here's why: they can lock you out of your entire account without any explanation or any way to get it back, pretty much erasing your online existence. It happened to Nick Saber.
One of my personal sticking points for keeping my online life totally synced is now one step closer to being easier--Google Calendar now supports CalDAV and can sync natively with OS X's iCal without a third-party add-on. But there's a huge hitch--as of now, I see no way to sync events created on my iPhone back into a Google Calendar, as you can't create an event in a CalDAV calendar directly on the iPhone. Damn, almost there--looks like I can't throw out BusySync just yet. But if you've found away around this limitation, please share in the comments. So close! [
