Add tasks to Google Calendar
How would you like a way to add task lists into Google Calendar? I would love it. Especially since it's now possible with Remember The Milk. With the addition of a RTM calendar, you can easily add new tasks, review your tasks for the day, edit tasks, check out overdue tasks, and see where location-based tasks are with a Google Map.
Adding this feature to your calendar is simple. Click on the Google Calendar link from the Remember The Milk homepage to add the Remember The Milk Google Calendar. When the calendar is added, you will see the Remember The Milk calendar listed in your Other Calendars section. Subscribing to this new calendar is the driving force behind the task list. Once added you can start tasking away. You know you have tasks to complete when there is a blue circle with a check for a specific day. If you use Google Apps for your Domain, adding the tasks with this process does not work. Remember The Milk does, however, have an alternative method that you must follow.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

This is all well and good, but tasks are something Google should have added to the calendar from the start.
I want an application that supports untimed tasks (I can't seem to find one). If I add a task on a specific day, it should keep rolling forward so it appears as a task every day until I say it is completed.
Obviously tasks that have no date attached to them wouldn't do this.

Does anyone else find that adding the RTM calendar results in displaying an event on _every_ day in the monthly view? Every single day is bolded, whether there's an event or an item in the to do list or not. It makes it impossible to do a quick visual scan for entries.
Otherwise, I'm really impressed with how nicely they've integrated it.
