The short answer is that My Day displays your Entourage tasks and calendar events -- three of each by default, although you can change the view to show as many of each as you want (including none). You don't need to have Entourage open for My Day to view everything, although (of course!) you can.
I wrote a post on my blog a few months ago about how I use My Day: http://blogs.msdn.com/nadyne/archive/2008/04/11/your-day-is-my-day.aspx If you have additional questions about it, just ask!
