Default Cool Widgets
New computer is up and running smoothly (thanks again to all who offered advice in the other thread), and I just added the Yahoo widget engine yesterday. Have a bunch of cool widgets and am wondering if any of you have any neat ones you think others would like. Here's mine:

Local Weather
NHL Scores/Schedule
NFL Scores Schedule
Desktop Translator
Neon Clock (Simply for looks, I guess)
Flip Count 1.1 (my very own countdown to Bonnaroo)
Sys Monitor (amazingly useful- shows the remaining space on each of my hard drives, CPU sensor, virtual & physical memory)

Yahoo bought out Konfabulator and renamed it Yahoo Widgets. I was originally developed for OS X, and then was ported to Windows.

And yeah, it is like the Vista sidebar, although existed long before Vista.

Nice. Is there one that reliably manages different RDP connections?

I've got a Mac, but I have a few that I use. TV Forecast keeps me updated when new episodes of my favorite shows are airing, a weather widget that is entirely inaccurate, a daily cartoon delivery, and MLB scores.
