yeah, and that in as many incremental steps as available.
If there is a step between showing a full calendar and a task list for only
the day that i obviously clicked on, then i would prefer to make that step
first, before sitting and waiting for a full calendar view to load and show
me stuff that i don't want to see.

a "today" menu is what should pop up after clicking indicator date-time
imo..
This could contain tasks, appointments, subscribed events or weather and
sunrise etc..
