XCuts
This is one of few widgets I find really useful. It lists all kinds of keyboard shortcuts from Mac OS X and categorizes them so they’re easy to find.

Word Of The Day
It shows one word each day with an explanation of that word. Use it as a way to learn new words. I just wish it wasn’t so boring to look at.

Earth Shots Photo Of The Day
This widget displays one photo each day and it’s the shot of the day from EarthShots.org, a photo a day contest. I wish the photo would display a bit bigger, but you can always click on it to go to their site.

Mezmerize
What’s the point? It show some colorful moving patterns and shapes and you’re supposed to be mesmerized and relaxed. More like annoyed and hitting the delete key in a hurry.

Remote Desktop Widget
This one is special because it only comes as a part of Apple Remote Desktop 3 (see review in this issue of shuffle). And all it does is let you see the remote desktop of a another computer in the widget. If you have Apple Remote Desktop, check this widget out.
