i bit the apple

so i finally decided to bit the bullet and sign up for mobileme.  i wanted a single device that would allow me to see all my calendars (ical, google, exchange) in one place.  it's ironic that there's no software application on any desktop that does this, but the iphone does (with the help of mobileme).  so i am now a user of a cloud-enabled service.  i'm liking it so far, but we'll see how it goes.
