This might be a good idea:

"The CogHUD is a wearable HUD that allows you to be reminded of events and add events to a Google Calendar. It also allows you to receive events via Kiosks in Second Life with a simple command.

To use these objects you must have a Google Calendar account, which you can get for free from their Website and once you start using the object you will be directed to create an account on my website, Calendar Cogs, so that you can associate your Google Calendar with your in world objects.

The system is simple to use and will help you remember those events you want to go to."

I sent away for the manual. Something is needed - right now it's hard to remember when medium to low priority events are (obviously something you really care about and/or are involved in is a different story). If I could train myself to look at Google Calendar every day (I use Google as my homepage in Firefox, and I have the calendar underneath my Gmail inbox - but lately I don't look at it at all) it would work. Maybe if I just used it for SL things... I felt like it got annoyingly clogged when I put rl things on it.

I get tired of everything being a HUD, though. I usually wear radar so I know who is in my area (very useful in Spangle) and who is behind me (especially useful all the time). Most of the time I wear a reg-tron. Because HUDs show up in video, and because both of those are small and I'm used to seeing them, I wind up with HUDdy video and gnash my teeth a lot because of it. Sometimes I can use the video anyway, but usually I have to dump it.

Anyway... I will look at the documentation...
