30Boxes, the quality / free / ajax calendar, has added colour to tags allowing you to browse through your calendar at a glance and see what your up to. Simply click on ‘Find’, then the box next to the tag and select your colour from the palette.

Clockr has really caught my attention recently (I think I am getting a design bug). Its a 24 hour clock that is made in Flash and composed from some bright, bold images found on Flickr. I think its the simplicity of the idea that has really got my interest – download the screensaver if you like it.
