Diary of a Bad Golfer

I’ve been using Google Calendar for awhile now as my “main” calendar but only recently found out a cool feature of it.  I currently have a one-way synchronization setup so my work calendar uploads to my Google calendar using SyncMyCal (syncs automatically for me).  Then I also have all my personal calendar details on it.

What I recently started using was being able to add new events phone my phone via SMS.  To do this you first need to setup mobile access in your Google calendar (under Settings).  Then you can send new events to GVENT (48368) and have them show on your calendar.  I.E. text “Lunch at Jeff’s Saturday at 11am”

You can also retrieve calendar info this way by sending “day” you will get a notification of all your scheduled events for the day.  Or you can set it up to send you a list of the day’s events emailed to you at a certain time every morning.

Now if I could just find something free to do a 2 way sync to my iCal I would be set.
