How scriptable is iCal? I'd like to write a script to have the computer speak the current day's appointments and To do items. Can someone point me in the right direction with this task?

iCal is quite scriptable, but what you want to do is still harder than it ought to be. Actually, it's all pretty simple except for the problem of recurring events. Because of how iCal represents them via scripting, you have to do a lot of work to figure out exactly what events occur on a particular day (or, more generally, between two points in time). You can look at Scott Tooker's "Today's Schedule" Konfabulator widget <http://www.widgetgallery.com/dl.php?widget=25887> for a working example.
