it does not work for me to have anything in my calendar that is not an appointment. I tried that strategy once and after 48 hours I nearly screamed in frustration. I much prefer having a calendar and then a separate list of todos. It isn't particularly efficient, but my brain likes it better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
iCal lets me set up all day appointments with the time marked free, so they don't show up during that day, or mess up my free time view. And then I can have the email sent out a specific time beforehand. I get by.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Why?
It's not personal, I toss all my cookies every night, with the intent that marketers would not have ongoing information about my surfing habits. I also don't load images in my email, which gives similar information, unless I want to reward the advertiser and actually click through.
I realize I'm more paranoid than your average bear, though.

Downloaded and installed an OS security update with required restart. My MacBook has been restarting for two hours. That's not normal, is it?

Hey, my phone has been rebooting for the past ten minutes. I don't know what recent changes have been made. I haven't installed anything today. I'm in the middle of downloading Chrome beta, but I can't even get in to stop that. It reboots as soon as the login page comes up.
FUCK.

I don't know if it's at all related, but Wil Wheaton is saying on G+ that he's having Chrome crap all over his day too. Don't know any details, so it's not terribly helpful, other than to say you might not be the only one experiencing this.

Chrome on his phone?
I got the phone up long enough to back up a couple directories and then did a factory reset. I'll spend the next couple days putting it back together, but at least it's not softbricked anymore.
I love when Gizmodo goes off the rails. I mean, I'm sure there's some truth to the assertions, etc, but I love how they lead with the click bait.
