We celebrated iCal Day at the office. Chocolate, Pirouettes, Fiddle Faddle, and bubbles. Hooray for July 17!

I got it, but I never would have thought of it.

One of my coworkers thought of it. I thought it was a great idea.

So great, in fact, that I emailed Steve Jobs wishing him Happy iCal Day.

No way!

Apparently we're not the first to think of it.

Oh well.

I found the default icon confusing enough that I downloaded a replacement that says "iCal" where the default icon says "17."

Having a specific date number on the application's icon that changes to the correct date when the application is launched is extremely unintuitive.

I don't get it. Google tells me it's a calendar?

Yup. I agree. I've been confused by that icon more than once.

That crazy iCal icon!
