One of the best side effects of using Facebook is knowing when your contacts' birthdays are - but you only see them if you log in. The Facebook application fbCal is out to fix that. Once you install it on Facebook, fbCal creates an iCal file for your Facebook contacts' birthdays as well as Facebook events.And in another fun geeky news:
As Web and desktop applications merge, Yahoo doesn't want to be left out of the Webtop party. That's especially true as Adobe Air and Google Gears apps begin to gain some traction. It turns out that for the past year Yahoo has been working on BrowserPlus, a browser plugin that lets developers add desktop-like features to the browser, including the ability to drag-and-drop items from the desktop onto the browser, manipulate Web images (crop, rotate, etc.), and receive desktop notifications. It works with Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer, on both Windows and Mac OS X.

Laughing Squid recently ran a post about the Human Calendar. At first I thought it was interesting, but then when I realized just how it worked I was just in awe. Not only is it a human calendar, but it functions. Since I'm slow it took me some time to figure out why the faces were all looking at a specific square.Marcia! Marcia! Marcia! Each day the faces change and direct your view to the correct date. It's very cool and I give major props to Craig Giffen and of course his bunch of brady's inspiration.
Craig created the human clock several years ago and has been working on the calendar on and off for quite some time. It's done. It's awesome.
Check it out.
