Google Reader and xkcd

Hmm, how are those two things related? Well, frequently people seem to like sharing xkcd comics in Google Reader. I'd just like to point something out: you know that pretty much anyone who would see your shared items probably reads xkcd already, right?

Anyway :) Time for some shameless promotion of my favourite Google product. I actually get xkcd comics in Google Calendar. They appear next to the little weather icon. How do you do this? Click here.

Other calendar tricks you may not know about:

  • We have weather. Have had for a long time. Turn it on in settings. Does Celsius and those other units for measuring temperature.
  • Try typing "ticker:symbol" in the "Add a friend's calendar" box :)
  • I got bored one day and wrote this. See this site for an explanation of how they're computed.
