Just wanted to point out “SwiftRun” (Einar Otto Sigman).
It’s a fully customizable unlimited Nicknames Database.
Each nickname you create can be associated with actions + parameters.
You can set it as always focused. I.e, e.g, if I type op it lauches Opera, ge Google Earth, sow StarOffice Writer, soc SO Calc, pe ProcessExplorer, g garmin launches a G.search for the word garmin in my default browser, docs opens Documents folder in Explorer, sync docs e:pdocs synchronizes documents folder from c with usb (disk or key) e: drive and pdocs folder. The number of things it does is limited by your capacity to associate nicknames you invent with actions and params you set. It’s as small as the “submit comment” button below. A double click on it opens its entries settings sheet.
I have a digital “clock and date” gadget, a “2 core cpu and ram” watching gadget, a dynamic disk I/O observer one, and SwiftRun.
From far SwiftRun is the most usefull gadget I ever saw.

I have seen that one before, but I don't really have a need for all of that. The clock and calendar is already in my Taskbar, and I have a more powerful weather gadget that shows forecasts and radar all in one.

I didn't realize that XM had radio stations on WinAmp. That's pretty cool, but it's nice having it all confined to the sidebar instead of needing to open a program.

The XMRadio gadget is awesome. Just installed it and I probably will never uninstall it ~

XM Online:

The sound quality is remarkable (literally). It’s almost as crystal clear as listening to an original CD. At this moment I’m listening to “Escapade”, a channel which streams soft instrumental arrangement from the last 60 years.

Go ahead and try it!
