Applescript to Delete an iCal calendar in Leopard
tell application "iCal"
tell calendar "Nuke This Calendar"
delete every event
end tell
end tell
This was the only way I could find to delete a calendar without having iCal send “notifications” to every person from whom I’d accepted a meeting invite. There was an option in earlier versions of iCal to “Delete without notification,” but that was removed.

iPhone icon rejects
Now that we can move icons off of the iPhone home screen, is anyone keeping the iTunes WiFi store on page 1?
My rejects, shifted to page 2:
Photos: Never use it.
Notes: Never use it. Not very useful without sync.
Calculator: Sucks. Give me an iPhone version of Soulver.
YouTube: Sucks over EDGE, don’t need it with WiFi.
iTunes WiFi Music Store: On the rare occasion that I need it, I’m happy...
Marc: We totally need to see Cloverfield on Friday.
Marc: At 2:00.
Marc: Or at 10:00.
Alex: Or even at 2:10.

Call for quality blogs.
I’m junking my current RSS roster because it’s crap (except for friends and xkcd).
I’m looking for quality blogs that are worth my time investment. General categories of interest are:
Intarweb tech (duh)
Business/Finance/Economy/Stock Market
Science
You, know… Interesting.
Guilty Pleasure (non-porn)
Respond/Reblog with your favs and I’ll post a followup...
Alex: My first website was neon green background with a background media loop.
Alex: I almost got beat up in high school because of it.
Alex: They taught good web design the hard way.

Marc: The whole month?
Paul: Yeah, sorry about that.
