Google Calendar and Checkout Go Mobile

So Google calendar is now officially mobile. No more hacks or v-cal exports to my phone (not necessary, anyway). Plus you get a nice link to a map if the event contains location information. Also Google Checkout is mobile as well. Users verify their identity via PIN rather than account credentials. Can't wait to try it out. Now if they will just let people pay in euros and yen as well as dollars and pounds...

You got to know your chicken-ish

It's in the Google calendar menu, so I'm sure it's been around for a while, but にわとり的 (niwatori-teki: "like chicken" I guess) is a great calendar. It shows the availability dates of games, consoles and keitai as well as the J-League season.
