If you haven't tried out Google Calendar yet, you should.

Basically, it is a on-line calendar application where you can schedule out meetings, events, and whatever else on calendar. What differentiates Google from the rest though is that you can share and see other people's calendars.

Some people have generated all sorts of calendars and you can search them and have them applied to your calendar if you want. For example, I have the Calgary Flames game schedule and the Calgary Flames television schedule as my "add on" calendars. You can turn them on or off if you want like a filter.

There are calendars for whatever people felt like making up. I have seen open stage night calendars, television schedules for particular shows, concerts, and some people just share their personal calendar so you know what they are up to.

If you are looking for an easy way to keep track of what is going on then check it out. If you already have a Gmail account then you won't even need to sign up.

I have been enjoying a spike in traffic this month. I have been averaging 3 to 4 times the traffic each day for almost the entire month. It is interesting that it has all come from a few articles I wrote at the beginning of the month that have received a ton of search results traffic.

Revenue is up as well, but it is interesting to note that it isn't exactly coming from these articles. The articles are in the Computer category with Google Adsense and the payout is not really that high for this category.

I have pulled slightly more traffic for my Finance articles which were written almost a year ago and they are earning more than ever. I guess with extra traffic, you pull a few extra for other page as well.

It is seriously cold here. My temperature widget is saying -32 degrees Celsius right now. My truck had a difficult time starting this morning and had some interesting noises when I was first driving.

The wind factor has dropped the wind chill int into the -40's as well.

If you have never experienced it before, I wouldn't recommend it.

I went to Our Town at the Epcor Centre last night. Another great production by Theatre Calgary.

I was quite impressed with the performance. It tells the story of a small town in New Hampshire called Grover's Corners. It tells a story about a young boy and girl who fall in love and get married.

It is interesting in the fact that they used very little for a set. A few chairs, tables, and a couple other pieces. The used no other props and would act out the motions of using them. It took a while to get used to, but then it just seemed normal. This was apparently a preference of the creator of this play, Thornton Wilder.

There is also a stage manager who comes out on the stage to change tables or do something else and is actually acknowledged by the narrator of the play. There is audience participation in clapping for some actors when they speak. It makes it sort of odd as some of the actors recognize the audience is watching them while others never ever do.

Popular Play

They say that Our Town is one of the most performed plays in the world and on any given day of the year, there will be a performance of it somewhere in the world.

Wilder also won the Pullitzer Prize for Old Town. Here is the Wikipedia entry for Our Town.

This is perhaps the best explanation video I have seen for a basic look at the mortgage crisis going on in the U.S.. Check it out if you want to know more about it.
