New Thing – Sidebar & Gadgets

I’m learning all about Windows vista’s Sidebar – the gadgets and all the fun they can bring. 

Now because i’m on the computer all the time it seems like, i’m finding new and better ways of speed up my work flow and finding that the Sidebar provides all kinds of ways to do that.

for example, i would need to check the weather for an up and coming photo shoot. 

i would have to open internet explorer, click on my link to go to www.weather.com and then check the weather.  A few clicks but still takes time. 

this way, all i have to do is look up and there it is. 

Now some might say you could use the Weather app they have but i try to minimize the amount of applications running in the back ground.  And this way i have one App – The Sidebar running and its telling  me the weather, the CPU usage, my key websites i need to visit, etc. 

One app to do them all.
