Having fun with plug-ins lately? Our developers sure do!

Several of the Google Desktop plug-ins we have received combine a
geeky sense of humor with helpful information. Here are some of our
favorites:

• Laundry Timer - Helps you remember when your laundry is done.


• Global Surfari Notifier - Beach wave & wind information for surf trips.


• Lottery Results - Lottery results for your state.


• Blood Pressure Tracker - Displays blood pressure measurements.


• Today's Deity - Displays "Today's Deity" from the Encyclopedia Mythica.


• Hard Disk Life - Displays a disk health indicator and alerts you about
  problems before they happen.

If you have a cool idea for a plugin, have some fun implementing it yourself or discuss it on the Google Desktop Developer group.
