Much of the time I spend looking at a calendar is wasted fumbling through a planner, opening iCal, loading widgets, or clicking through my cell phone. The amount of time wasted is not large, but the percentage is significant when all I need to do is count days, look quickly into the future, or perform the countless other calendar tasks that only require a list of days and months. Since my desktop background is always loaded and visible, why not put a calendar on it? I like to keep my desktop uncluttered, I use it to group files together, and I do not want extra distraction, could all that still be possible?  Allow me to introduce my new desktop.
