Tools:
- Chandler for calendar events
- Omni Outliner for lists of tasks/projects/next actions
- Wiki and bugzilla as well, but I won't count that here

Calendars:
- Office Calendar (637)
- Work (214)
- Home (38)
- Train (4)
- PyCon2006 (166)
- PPD (13)
- Ted (229)
(I expect to add other people for "free-busy" in near future)

Lists:
- Agendas (~80)
- Next Actions (~30)
- Projects (~120)
- Collection (~30)
- Done! (~50)
- Reference (~50)

Cheers,
Katie
