long weekend project: made my Google Calendar reflect my work calendar (Zimbra) via Node app on Google App Engine: https://zimbra-calendar-sync.appspot.com. Syncs on demand and once every 6 hours until your Zimbra auth token expires (unless you save the password)

We are looking for people who are visiting SF Bay Area in the next 2 months. If you could use a free ride from SFO to anywhere in the SF Bay Area, we would be happy to meet you at the airport and give you a ride. The catch is that while you are riding with us, you will be testing our app (iPhone or Android, your device or ours - whichever you choose). The only requirement is that you must not be a San Francisco resident, because we need to test this app with visitors, rather than with locals. Feel free to refer your friends to us as well. You can contact us at info@citybot.com.

Commenters on the tech blogs are eager to jump on the bandwagon and bash Color's $41 mil investment as a clear sign of a bubble. At first I thought so too. Granted, the app has a two star rating, is not immediately intuitive, and is otherwise only marginally useful. Yet, I disagree with all of you who are saying that this will be a massive flop. The way I see this, is that Color's app is just a red herring which diverts attention from the underlying technology. However, the underlying technology that they've developed is pretty impressive, and has a lot more potential uses than yet another social photo sharing location aware phone app.
