    So it's 4 in the morning and I STILL haven't revised a paper due in 4 hours.

    Instead I've been looking through all these cool things that someone had on their computer: Konfabulator Widgets.

    http://www.konfabulator.com/

    How come I never heard of this thing before???? You can put anything and everything on your desktop from Toolbar searches, to weather, to WiFi signal icon, to traffic webcams, headlines, and even Hal 9000.

    It's incredible; now I can just open up this program and save a while 10 minutes a day searching news and weather! :eek:

    It won't load for me...

    It says it can't find my %USERPROFILE%/NetHood or something like that.

    Cool program, but I for some reason I hate the word "Widget" and I'm not sure why... I think it has something to do with school...

    Yes I noticed that too, but it was lat...or early. Any my edit option wasn't wokring correctly (browser issues). But you've still got to admit that it's coll.

    I just installed this on my computer. It's pretty cool. I have the clock icon, battery icon (it's a laptop), foxnews, espn news, and weather so far. I'll probably add more when time permits.
