Gear Diary WeatherCal   Your forecast in iCal photo

If you’re a Mac user, Bare Bones software, the makers of the popular Blackberry application BBEdit, have a slick utility just for you.  WeatherCal places the weather forecast for the next five days as all day events into iCal.  Each location you specify gets its own line with the day’s forecast.

The application gets installed as a system preference and allows you to enter your favorite cities.  You can also search for locations via name or zip code.

By clicking on the day’s forecast, you see a link to Weather Underground, which provides more detailed information for the day.

As an added bonus, if you’re an iPhone user, you can configure iTunes to sync your weather forecast to the iPhone’s calendar as well.

The application is available for download from the Bare Bones software web site.   It costs $10 but a thirty day demo is available.

I have always had a passion for gear and gadgets. It all started for me with the release of the very first Palm Pilot. I've always had an interest in handheld electronics. From handheld PDAs, to cell phones, Mp3 players, watches and other products, I'm the first person my friends, family and colleagues call when they need advice on tech. I have roots in the online tech. forum community. I served as the Administrator to Howard Forums.com and as a Moderator at both Treo Central.com and Blackberry Forums.net. Under the screen name “lgreenberg” I've amassed 50,000+ postings. I also manage my own YouTube channel under the user name larrygreenberg. I'm always eager to help.
