I'm really liking these gadgets. You shoulda seen me goin' at it up in here. I set up my iGoogle start page and immediately added a dozen gadgets. At one point I was up to 62 gadgets. I was outta my mind. I've roped myself in though and am currently down to 17. I'm gonna put out this warning and let you folks know that this whole "productivity" angle to this "thing" is kind of a misnomer. I've been wasting lots of time adding and removing gadgets. It's kind of addicting. Once you have all these gadgets set up then of course you gotta use 'em. Tetris online, Smoking Gun, Science News, all pretty sweet. Don't get me wrong, I do have some useful gadgets on here. When did you get so judgemental? I can't believe that's how you think of me.
I didn't mess with the calendar cuz I use the one I have through Outlook pretty regularly and I didn't want to make Outlook jealous.
I played with the "Ta Daa List" but it kinda seemed like more work than it was worth. I really liked Zamzar and have referred a couple students and colleagues to it when they have trouble opening a .docx file in the older version of MS Word.
I'm back to keeping it brief but if I find any great gadgets between now and the end of the quarter I'll update this post.
