I have the wikipedia widget (slow, and not much point if you have a web browser open, but still fun) and a couple weather ones up.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The only third party widget I like so far is DoppleViewer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I installed the TiVo widget and it's very pretty. I'm not sure it's useful, but it's certainly pretty.

Okay -- more widgeting -- I can run the TiVo widget, but how do I get it to appear in the Widget Bar? The first couple I downloaded from the Apple site appeared there automatically, but not the TiVo one or the last one I grabbed.

Ya gotta put them in the right directory. Either ~/Library/Widgets or /Library/Widgets.
eta: create your own widgets: [link]
It's easy! Just a little HTML, CSS and JavaScript.... (other languages can be used too).

Spotlight is so confusing -- when I did the search, it made it look like the widgets were in the Application folder, which they patently were not.
Got them in the widget bar now, thanks.

Trust my rage
I can run the TiVo widget, but how do I get it to appear in the Widget Bar?
When you say Widget Bar, is there an acutal "bar" somewhere listing the widgets. Because all I have seen is the screen that grays out everything else and pops up all my Widgets.
Also, I've just been dropping my widgets into the applications folder, running them once, and then they forever after appear with all my other widgets when I bring up the Widget screen.
