Workin' That Mac

Anyone who doubts the utility of Macs in the workplace should check out iCal and iSync, and think again. A quick example. Kevin Marks is attending Harvard Business School Publishing's Next Generation Growth conference tomorrow. He put the conference agenda in iCal, published the calendar to the Web, and when the software asked if he wanted to send a "publish" email, he said righty-o (in that inimitable British fashion). Now people can view this calendar on the Web. Big deal, you say, HBSP took care of that already. Sure. But folks running iCal can also subscribe to this calendar.

while law students Mike and math-poetically-inclined TPH hang out in all the right neighborhoods (here!), and law student Ted's "SCOTUS" blog taps turgid telegraphical timbres [via Howard's blogroll].

In other news, reader feedback suggests the men fared far worse than the women in the "typical attire" selections included yesterday. To remedy, this comes somewhat closer to the look I was trying to capture...
