Have you tried the clock navigation for Windows 7?

Some of you may say it is an age-old trick, but guess what? I recall about it today when I 'accidentally' clicked on the clock to navigate to other month's calendar.

First thing's first, click on the clock in your taskbar's tray.

You should see the clock application showed up like below, showing only the current month's calendar.

Navigating between months that are year's away can be troublesome at this level.

If you clicked on the month (September 2011), you will be zoom-ed out to the monthly view showing months in the same year.

Oh wait, the month (September 2011) now changed to year as well!

You maybe happy with navigating from year to year and clicking on the months will bring you the zoomed-in view back to monthly calendar.

Try clicking the year (2011) and it will zoomed you out to decade's calendar (an interval of 10 years). Cool? Read on to see my comments after the image below.

Wait ... there is more! Click on the decades (2010-2019) and you will be zoomed out to the centuries calendar view!

Now here are the turn-off comments after all the excitement above.

Who on earth needed to navigate up to those time range? Those who need to find out the day of a certain date?

Wait a minute, turned out that Windows 7 can only show two centuries' range (1900 - 2099). Is it the hardware limitations? Stuck-ed algorithm? Or we just don't need to know anything before 1900 and after 2099?

Doom's day? I don't know either, but if yes, that means it was also a doom's day before 1900 then?

Moral of the story, if you wanted to feel how quick it is a 200 years lapsed in a mere second, go to the centuries view above, and click backwards or forward to toggle between 1900-1999 to 2000-2099. The animation took 1 second to complete, and that's how it felt to jump from one centuries to another!

Life's too short to complaint? Now beat that!

So, let's enjoy our short lifespan here in the universe of giant waiting room and do our best to live life to the fullest!

Keep the spirits high folks!
