Most useful dashboard widgets

Better than keeping my normal constantly thrown out scrap of paper on my desk, I found

http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/business/lists.html

which is a dashboard widget for keeping lists. It's very basic, which is all I need! But how do you edit something once you've written it? Hmmm, well, it doesn't matter too much I suppose.

The other Mac OS X widgets I use are

http://www.liquidx.net/albumartwidget/ which downloads my iTunes album covers from amazon in the background, automatically

http://www.phantomgorilla.com/widgets/ to get BBC radio stations (heaps of them I didn't even know existed)

the excellent currency converter widget that updates without you pointlessly having to press 'convert' (that button doesn't exist in this lovely program)

plus the standard calendar and clock widgets and the truly superb scientific calculator widget with memory (in fact full Javascript expressions it seems)
