Agreed, everyday when I look at my NHL Lockout Timer I feel pain. I feel as if I can not live another day without hockey. These past 246 days 1 hour 5 minutes and 7 seconds have been the most painful in my life. :(

Dang Jonat, it's VERY cold where you are. Cold and rainy, that can't be to fun. All these dashboards make me want my Mac NOW not later. Now I have more to look forward to!

It's celsius yes! A typical British morning - rainy, grey and cold (ish). ;) And I have to go and wait for the bus in it shortly. Lucky me! :D :rolleyes:

I've been meaning to change my weather widget to °C instead of °F - you've inspired me to make the switch, jonat8.
Celsius is so much cooler :)
0° = freezing
100° = boiling (water)

What was the zero-point in Fahrenheit? I think 100°F is about body temperature IIRC, but is 0°F = 0°C?

0° C = 32 °F
-17.778° C = 0°F

Use the dashboard temperature convertor! :)

Internet good. ;)

As the zero point on his scale Fahrenheit chose the temperature of a bath of ice melting in a solution of common salt, a standard 18th century way of getting a low temperature in the laboratory (and in the kitchen, as in an old-fashioned ice cream churn). He set 32 degrees as the temperature of ice melting in water. For a consistent, reproducible high point he chose the temperature of the blood of a healthy person (his wife), which he measured in the armpit and called 96 degrees. (The number arises from beginning with a scale of 12 intervals, like a one-foot ruler, and then doubling the number of steps as instruments become more precise, making 24 intervals, then 48, and finally 96.)

Just added the DashFlix, PacMan and iTunes Lyrics widgets. iCal Events 2.0 is much improved as well.

Where did you get the iTunes lyrics widget? I'd like to have that one. I checked Apple's widgets page and didn't see it.
