This one's for geology geeks and gelatin fans only: Wiglet is a great little desktop widget for Yahoo! Widget Engine. It looks like a green Jell-o mold, and when USGS reports an earthquake it will jiggle with a velocity corresponding to the magnitude of the earthquake. When Wiglet reports an earthquake, you can click on it to see a map of the affected area. How cool is that? Oh, and it's free.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire.

I downloaded that widget and I have to say that it's pretty cool. I knew that we have earthquakes ever single day, but I didn't realize that the occurrences were quite this frequent. Thanks for the tip!

The widget is pretty cool, but since I live in LA-land I'm thinking a real Jell-o mold that sits on my desk would be cooler. Ideally it would sit on a battery-powered night light-type plate. That way when we have a real shake I'll have something to distract me from everyone screaming their heads off when the power goes down.
