Aside from that two clocks (gotta have my Amsterdam time, man), a calculator and a calendar. :-) I have subscribed to the Dashboard <a href="http://images.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/home/recent.rss" rel="nofollow">RSS feed</a>, of course, and will likely be keeping an eye out for new and old widgets on <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/" rel="nofollow">VersionTracker</a>.

Currently I've got Weather and US Weather + (Weather Channel maps), Calendar, a clock, a calculator, and a couple of look-stuff-up doodads. I've spent more time than I should be willing to admit trying to trim the little Widget bin to one screen-ful, for no good reason (other than, possibly, scrollophobia). Mostly I use the calculator and glance at the weather, and the rest just hang around looking pretty. Mind you, I've also got WeatherPop running, albeit with a different data source than Weather uses; apparently I'm not trying that hard to recover lost screen space.
