This was so popular when first released, that soon after they made their beta version public, they were overwhelmed by everyone who wanted this that they had to shut down temporarily and move to a much more robust server. That says volumes about how wanted this tool is.

So, what’s the tool?

It’s called “Spanning Sync” [ www.spanningsync.com ] and it’s an absolute godsend. This tool will now allow me (Mac user) to synchronize my iCal (only the coolest calendar app out there) with Google calendar. Why do I need this? Well, as a worship leader, one of the biggest ongoing problems with team organization is calendar planning and this will now allow the entire leadership team to manage multiple calendars that will all synch and stay current no matter what OS (operating system) or web browser you use.

Sa-weet!

Note – they do say on their website that this is a BETA version so it can be buggy. I’m not going to synch my more critical calendars until this hits the first official release…but I’m excited to see someone with the foresight to recognize the need for this.

Ok, that’s my geeky entry for now. Someday I may offer more thought-provoking thoughts but for now I’m wallowing in my geeky pleasures.
