Am I like...super behind the times on this? Is it that I'm not into Mac so I missed this? Dude...check out Konfabulator, which is now available on Windows.
Fucking hella double wicked super uber sweet and cool!
It...you know...lets you make things that do stuff. Little "widgets" on your screen that...do things. Whatever. Stock tickers, weather tickers, to-do lists, and so on. And you can extend it.
Check it out. Unless you have. Already. Because I think I'm behind the times. But it does rule. I've played with it for all of...45 seconds now and I'm hooked. KICKASS!
