Skylight’s New Family Calendar – Because Apparently You Can’t Manage Your Own Damn Schedule

So Skylight, those cheery bastards who make that digital photo frame your aunt won’t shut up about, have decided the world needed yet another goddamn calendar. It’s called Calendar 2 – because apparently naming shit creatively is optional now. This gadget is like a family command center for people whose kids’ soccer games and PTA meetings have replaced any notion of free will. Stick it on your wall, plug it in, and boom – you’ve got a glowing monument to how overbooked your life is.

It syncs up with Google, Apple, Outlook, and whatever other half-baked online mess you use to pretend you’re organized. Everyone in the household can add events, color-code them, and feel slightly less like they’re living in a meat grinder of missed appointments. There’s even some AI-powered crap that tries to “anticipate” your schedule – because what I really needed was a device that silently judges how late I am to everything. It’s touch-enabled, sleek, and just expensive enough to make you feel like you’ve accomplished something by buying it.

Basically, Skylight’s betting that you’ll shell out cash so your family can stop screaming about who’s using the car at 4 PM on Thursday. It’s shiny, it’s smart, and it’ll tell you all the ways you’ve failed to plan ahead – now with a user-friendly interface! Welcome to the future, where even your fridge, thermostat, and “family hub” know what a mess you are.

If you’re into that sort of thing (and have run out of walls for your other “life-organizing” garbage), check it out here: https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/07/skylight-debuts-calendar-2-to-keep-your-family-organized/

Reminds me of the time some bright spark in IT tried to put up a digital “team calendar” to keep track of who was on call. Two weeks later, it was being used to book fake lunch meetings and mark “urgent vacation requests.” The system eventually crashed because some genius synced it with their cat’s feeding schedule. Moral of the story? Don’t trust software to fix human stupidity.
