A Profoundly Simple Widget
It's no secret that I'm a fan of simplicity, so when I came across "The Big Questions" widget, I immediately fell in love. Now, I'm enjoying it enough to want to spread the word.When it comes to Widgets, I’m a fairly pragmatic guy. I’ve tried adding a bunch of whimsical little widgets like a hula girl, sports scores, Twitter, and even some productivity widgets, but none of them stick around for long. When it’s all said and done, the only widgets that have survived are the work horses. Transmit, Calculator, Screenshots, and Weather. That all changed this week when I found “The Big Questions” widget.

With questions like “What are you looking forward to telling your grandchildren about?” and “What would you do differently if you could start over?”, it’s a daily dose of thoughtfulness. That’s about it. I just thought this was unique enough to share. Enjoy.
