Widget Watch: MWSF 2007 Countdown Widget

Who is excited about Macworld? I know I am, and just to fuel the excitement Jesper has created the MWSF 2007 Countdown Widget (I took the above screenshot a few hours ago).
TUAW will be giving Macworld the full court press with a number of our bloggers, including yours truly, pounding the show floor looking for the cool stuff that the other sites have missed. It is going to be great, and it is only a week away!

The idea is: if people use their camera phones to take pictures throughout the week, they can submit them here & everyone who joins will be able to see an ongoing time line of events from MacWorld through the eyes of (hopefully) many different people.
If it catches on (and I've already got some friends in attendance planning to use it) then it'll be a neat way for people who aren't there to get to feel the full experience, in real time, from a variety of point of views.
It should be like a shared stream of consciousness from MWSF.
Another widget here from a proud AppleInsider :-)
Thanks to Ireland

@Jesper: Alej744 is just being pretentious, ignore it. Nice widget.

otherwise i wouldn't have any use for this because, luckily, my birthday is on jan 9th. oh well, now i don't have to count the days by analogically watching on my hardware (printed on paper) calendar. :)
Awww I hate the widgets that are made with Dashcode because it's so easy to tell that it's just a template. Same with iWeb sites... pshh :(

thanks
