"You speak of a fat man who delivers gifts to all the good children in the world in the space of one night, from a sled pulled by flying reindeer, helped by magical elves, and your main problem is that the shows depict daylight in Winter on the North Pole?"

Can someone help me sync a Gmail-powered Google Apps calendar with a Gmail calendar?

I want to share my @abcd.com calendar (which is a gmail-powered email address) with my wxyz@gmail.com calendar (which is just plain gmail). When I try, I only get the option to show busy/free, not the actual full details of the events, and only some events show up at all.

This question is also posted on Reddit.

UPDATE: Thanks, Eoporto and Courtney!

"One encouraging finding of the Gallup poll is that people have a far more accurate sense of crime in their own neighborhoods than they do about the rest of the country: When asked about their immediate surroundings, a smaller percentage believe crime to be going up."

— Imaginary fiends - The Boston Globe

"Across the country, FBI data show that crime last year fell to lows unseen since the 1960s - part of a long trend that has seen crime fall steeply in the United States since the mid-1990s…. The vast majority of Americans - nearly three-quarters of the population - thought crime got worse in the United States in 2009."

Naming myself “LOL” in single-player video games will never cease to be hilarious. Bonus points to who can name the game.

Sauna Time by *humon on deviantART

At 3:02, Doug Stanhope explains why you watch the news and scare yourself that terrorists will blow you up or a tornado will destroy your house: “That’s far more palatable than to except the reality, that nothing of any significance will ever happen to you in your entire boring life.”

Is this why lucky people with cool jobs don’t seem to have the same news-fed terror? Because we think our lives are a bit more significant?
