Firefox with Greasemonkey: The Enhance Gmail Greasemonkey script incorporates Google Calendar and the Google Chat gadget directly into your Gmail account. Install it, then click the Calendar or Chat links at the top of the page to open your inline calendar or chat gadget. If you don't like the default setup of the inline layouts, you can edit the script and change a few simple values to get it looking nice (like the screenshot above, which also features Remember the Milk integration).
For example, to place the calendar on the bottom half of your window (which I prefer) rather than splitting the window vertically, open up the Greasemonkey script and edit this line in the top section, changing:
const OPEN_CAL_BELOW_MAIL=0;
...to...const OPEN_CAL_BELOW_MAIL=1;
Likewise, I adjusted the Calendar height using:const CAL_HT = 60;
...rather than 70 percent, which seemed to take up too much of the window. In all, though, this is a really great tool for more tightly integrating your Google Apps dashboard. Enhance Gmail is free, works with Greasemonkey and Firefox. Perhaps we'll see some Better Gmail integration in Enhance Gmail's future. Thanks Redd!

Why Use Widgetbox?
- Track your widget with your metrics dashboard.
- Each widget has an analytics dashboard that tracks key metrics like # people who have subscribed to your widget, where your widget is being used, # page views, and which subscriptions are driving other people to get subscriptions themselves. Learn more »
- We help people easily add your widgets to their favorite destinations.
- We make it as simple as possible for people to get the widget onto their site. Already people can install onto many popular destinations without copying and pasting code. And, if they already have installed a Widgetbox Panel, adding your widget is drag and drop on many sites via our widget panels.
- We worry about each widget customization for you.
- Chances are, you want each person to be able to easily customize your widget. Maybe they need to select different content, change fonts or colors, or put in their affiliate ID. Widgetbox lets you visually build a form to capture this info, stores it for you, and sends it to you in the query string each time the widget is requested. If we host the widget for you, this configuration info can be used directly in Javascript and HTML via our variable system.

Recently I obtained a Pharos PDR150 GPS Navigator. It's a cool little gadget, but I want it to do more. It runs on a version of Windows CE, so I am interested in hacking it to add more functionality. Feel free to add relevant material to this trail.
