Posting from a widget

I am posting from a new macintosh widget that posts blog entries to blogspot.com.  Once again the ease of using a free blogging tool is awesome.  I am very excited about this tool.  Perhaps I will be able to blog more often.  For those of you who don't know what a widget is: a widget is a sort of small application that runs on an alternate window.  When I am working under normal conditions on my desktop or whatever I click on f12 and a transparent window appears over my work.  On the window are a couple of very small at a glance applications for instance: a calendar at a glance, a clock, a calculator, a conversion tool, the weather, a dictionary.  I can use them and then return to my work with just one button click.  They look cool and track small pieces of information all day.  I like them and so do many Mac users.  If you use windows you are out of luck, but you probably have some excuse why you are still using a PC and probably don't feel bad.  Let us all strive to be more productive.  I hope this helps me do so.
