Best/Favorite Mac Widgets Thread

[DaktariEd]

I have a few nifty Widgets I use fairly frequently and a few not so often.
Every once in a while I come across a great Widget. Sometimes other people point me to a great Widget.
How about other Mac users here on ExPo?
Maybe you can share what you have found.

Here are a few of my Widgets:

• Easy Envelopes
• Translation (by Systran) Not sure where this went...can't find it on Apple's website.
• Easy Currency a nice currency converter.
• Movies (Fandango?) another one I can't locate on the website.
• Character Pal a reference for all those crazy keyboard characters like: ˚ å ®
• Clear Sky Clock (an astronomy application)

So...what other cool Widgets are people using?

Re: Favorite Mac Widgets

Besides the standard Calculator and iCal widgets, the one I use most often is iStat Pro to monitor the computer. Unit conversion is a common chore but I find that Google is usually easier than the widgets I have tried. And then there are the entertainment widgets which I won't list to protect the innocent.

Istat Pro, Stop Dashboard (absolute must have), shredder, Chuck Norris Factoids, JiWire Hotspot finder (somewhat useless), Dictionary, Gas Prices, Convert, stickies.
