Happy iCal Day

Several people emailed us to make sure we noted that today is that most special day: iCal day! That's right, today is the date that is featured on iCal's icon by default, so that means when you launch iCal today the icon won't change. Freaky, huh?

Also, 51 years ago today Disneyland opened. Coincidence? I think not.

So, dear readers, how are you going to celebrate iCal day?

What's up with July 17th?

'Tis the weekend, oh members of the Mac Elite, and thus any sort of noteworthy news is woefully absent. So, instead, I thought I'd share with you a quick piece of trivia, compliments of Chris at Macteens, for folks who always Wondered but never Knew:

The iCal dock icon, when the app is not running, always says "July 17." Why? Because July 17th is the date iCal was originally announced at Macworld New York in the summer of '02. Press release here.

There you have it: one less thing to be curious about. Aren't you glad I'm around?
