Yesterday (or possibly today if you live in the USA) was iCal Day, the one day of the year on which the default iCal icon shows the same date whether it is running or not.

Exciting, eh?

Last year I had an Internet connection on iCal Day and posted five favourite iCal tips and and five favourite add-ons.

This year I missed the great day. But others didn’t.

Erik Kennedy at Ars Technica takes the opportunity to point out what’s wrong with iCal.

The wacky guys at Joy of Tech offer an iCal Day comic and a downable, roll-your-own iCal Day Hat .

If you find yourself at a loose end, why not celebrate the day by hacking around with iCal’s icon?

UPDATE: Or, even better, take a look at iConiCal , a utility that forces iCal to display today’s date in a variety of colours, whether the app is open or not. [Via TUAW ]
