Lifehacker chooses Calgoo as download of the day:

Once you do go online, Calgoo will synchronize your Google Calendar with Calgoo so that you’re always synced up and ready to go. Although I love the idea of Calgoo, especially for Gcal lovers who aren’t always plugged into the ‘netters, I wasn’t thrilled with the trouble I had getting Calgoo going. For some reason the calendar would not show up - I was able to create new appointments and sync them with my Google Calendar, but I could never actually look at the main calendar. That said, if the calendar had shown up, I think I would have really liked Calgoo.
