TUAW has a Dashboard Widget!
TUAW fanboy (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) Kurt Zenisek has earned huge brownie points by being the first reader to offer us up a Dashboard widget we can call our very own. C.K. was hoping for a Konfabulator widget, but... ummmm... tough.The TUAW widget fetches our main RSS feed every 15 minutes by default, but you can fetch as infrequently as every hour if you prefer. As a bonus, you can also switch it to grab to feeds from a few of our sister sites, like Engadget, TVSquad, Joystiq or Autoblog. As much as we love our fellow bloggers, we think you should keep your widget parked on us, though :)
Kudos to Kurt for taking the initiative. He even put our logo on it and set it so it looks like it's floating in a sea of widgety goodness! If you're ever in New York City, Kurt, I owe you a beer.
As for the rest of you... grab the widget here and enjoy!

What, no Downloadsquad love? Tsk, tsk Kurt. I kid.
And as for the Konfabulator widget... I assume Kurt isn't into S&M, as creating Konfab widgets is about as much fun as making toast underwater.

Looks nifty, but I'm already overrun with soooooo many widgets! I'll just stick to the RSS feed in Safari, thank you.

Sure James! Kurt is also working with us on another Widget for Dashboard which features even more Weblogs, Inc. blog feeds, each with their own logo, etc. We should be releasing it to the public soon.
We'd love a Konfab widget as well, so drop us a note when it's ready!
