Widget Watch: Date and Time - iCal Events

It's been a while since we've mentioned the iCal Events widget. In fact, I couldn't find it in our archives so I figured I'd give it a shout out since it's been updated recently. For those who aren't familiar, this is a basic, customizable widget that will let you quickly glance at up to 14 days worth of iCal events right in your Dashboard, without iCal running. You can toggle which calendars the widget collects events from, and how many days in advance you want to see. The recent update to version 2.15 includes improved scroll wheel support and fixed a few bugs and crashes.

This is a handy widget, and I run it right alongside my Backpack widget, as I'm falling more and more in love with the Backpack service every day. The fact that Backpack will send SMS event reminders to my mobile phone is killer, since I'm frequently on and off my Mac throughout the day, but never without my phone.
