Widget Watch: Scouting out the Valentines widgets

You'd think there would be dozens of fabulous widgets to choose from for Valentines day. You'd be wrong. The Valentines widget selection involves mighty slim pickings. Here are a few widgets we googled up for your romantic pleasure. You can create your own semi-custom Widget using Ben Kazez's Valentine Maker, offer an "I Love You" translator from Boer Attila or really dig deep at the bottom of the barrel with a couple of promotional widgets, including one for Britney Spear's new perfume.

Valentine Maker Create a custom Widget for Valentines day, from the maker of the John Edwards widget. You choose the color and the words.

Helzberg Diamonds Valentines Day Countdown Count down to Valentines day with a fairly unsubtle promotional widget from Helzberg Diamonds.

Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy Valentines Day Countdown Clock It's even more awful than the name suggests. Probably the worst Valentines day widget out there. Heck, this might be scraping the bottom of the barrel for all widgets in existence.

The Love Translator Translate the phrase "I Love You" in to bunches of different languages.

Five Ways to say I Love You with an iPod and iTunes

Valentine's Day is approaching fast. Roses are red. Violets are blue. Here are are some Valentines ideas, from us here at TU...aw.

Engrave it. I'd stick with "To my lovely partner" over "Be mine, forever", because it might not be clear if you're talking about your partner or to your iPod.

Gift a love song. Gift cards, schmift cards. You can gift a song whose lyrics really communicate that special message you want to send. Just try to avoid any song with "Disco" in the title.

Load a video message onto your iPod. iMovie and iSight combine for a great way to say "I Love You" on your favorite gadget.

Buy MiniGolf for your iPod. Because pass and play can be romantic and fun.

Create a surprise playlist. Yes, you may already be sharing iTunes libraries, so why not leave a special little surprise for that certain somebody? Build a playlist that you know that she or he will love.

Valentine's Day themed iPod costumes

Sometimes iPod themed accessories go too far. I am afraid that I just had to share these ridiculous "costumes" for your iPod from iAttire.

They have corsets, negligees, briefs, boxers, and even wife beaters for your iPods for Valentine's Day. When will the craziness end people? Please make it stop!

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
