Konfabulous
After listening to Dwight talk about how much he loves Konfabulator (especially now it's free), I jumped on the geeky bandwagon and downloaded it.
However, there are almost 800 widgets available, so finding the ones you can't live without is a little daunting.
If you run Konfabulator, which widgets are the ones you have to have?

I never used it to its fullest potential, but when I used it (back when we had to pay for it), I used mini-weather and the mini-calendar the most. Yeah, I know. A whole two widgets. Heh.

I have a calculator loaded up to quickly load in - it is quicker than going through the Start button. If I had something shipping I would use the shipping tracker, but the nice thing with widgets is you can easily hide the ones you don't need immediately.
The one thing I would like to see is a favorites list so I could drop in the calculator and a few others that I don't use that often but I want quick access to without any worry of them falling off the recent list.

Turned Konfabulator off and suddenly cpu usage wasn't a problem any more. Oh dear :( It'll stay off for now.
Love the idea though, I really want to love it :)

My very fav one is a TiVo now playing list that tells me everything that's on my TiVo w/o me turning it on. And there's a del.icio.us poster that detects the webpage I'm on and fills in the info to post. Oh, and some clocks for diff time zones. :) Helps when working with people in all areas!
