Widgets/Gadgets

I installed four widgets on my dashboard they include: a mail widget, tide widget, sunrise/sunset widget, and guitar chord widget. All of these widgets were downloaded from Apple dashboard downloads. The one I like the best is the Mail Widget, which checks your Apple Mail account every time Dashboard is activated without having Apple Mail running all the time. It actually opens Apple Mail faster than you opening it. The tide widget is called iTide (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/information/itide.html) and was the only tide widget I could set to Homer. GuitarChords is just that, a type in the chord and it illustrates it for you. Sol 1.2.3 is sunrise and sunset widget that also shows dusk and dawn times on a clock face, great for any traveler or outdoors folk. All these widgets will give any fisherperson a bit more information before they head out and if you decide to stay home then you can play the guitar.

I have two Firefox gadgets that I mentioned in an earlier post. Both have worked out great. Smart Bookmarks Bar 1.4.1, which allows you to have icons and shows the names when you scroll over them allowing for more bookmarks. TextMarker! 0.3.2 that allows to you to highlight copy your clipping or fragment, copy the link, and bookmark the link or fragment. I have been using this a lot for these posts. Both of these were easy to download, install, and intuitive. Firefox has a lot of add-ons that are worth checking out.

Cheers
