If you’ve got Vista and you’re looking to spice up the side bar with some new gadgets, check out this link to the Code Project where there is currently a competition going on sponsored by Microsoft to create the best new gadgets.

There’s a gadget to bring Dilbert comics to your desktop, one that connects to your GMail account and can display your messages directly inside the side bar, and another that creates a slide show by connecting to the weather service.
