Let me tell you a story, said Jack

It's only a few but each one makes Google Maps better for everyone ... and my shining glory is right at the end of this post :) Sir Colin Meads Statue (Te Kuiti, AoNZ) Remutaka Crossing Lookout (AoNZ) Eastern Walkway (Wellington, AoNZ) Angel Wings Mural (Tauranga, AoNZ) Howell's Place (Monmouth, Wales) Richard Byrd Memorial (Wellington, AoNZ) Karahayit Aglayan Kaya (Turkey) (this is a weird one tbh, but I did legit add it to Google Maps) Petone Memorial Park (Petone, AoNZ) Monmouth Millennium Mosaic (Monmouth, Wales) There's a fair few statues, pieces of art, some toilets, and even a Beach or two but I've never managed to get Worser Bay Beach accepted, grrr. That'll do for now as we end on my greatest triumph, I was the person that added this to Google Maps, you're welcome. Peach Teat sign (SH1, AoNZ)

If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you want
