Shortly after the release of Google's Calendar application, the GCal widget was introduced by student Jared Shenson. The ability to stay on top of due dates and appointments was crucial, so Jared utilized his skills in Javascript and graphic design to create GCal Version 1. Solving the issue of having to keep a browser window open, it gave quick and convenient access to one's Google Calendar schedule, right on their desktop. The first incarnation of the GCal widget was released to the public on April 23, 2006. In a rush to get the widget out, many features were left unfinished and the graphics were not polished. It was here that Will Trienens and FuzzProductions entered the picture. Will loved the widget, but was not wowed by the interface. He mocked up a new UI and the project took off from there. Working furiously for a few weeks, Will’s graphic design talents met up with Jared’s coding and Google’s data to create the new GCal. It is our pleasure to release the new, totally redone, GCal Widget.

The GCal Widget interfaces with your Google Calendar to provide you with all the functionality of Google Calendar on your desktop. Rich in features and customizable options, GCal has been redesigned to give the user the utmost flexibility in viewing their calendared lives outside of their browser.
