    I've got the Yahoo widgets engine, and i just got a new widget for it. It monitors my cursor's movement, and generates a graph of its activity, a heat map, and tells me the distance my mouse has traveled in Kpixels, miles, kilometers, mm, cm, inches, meters, screens, yards, light years, and get this: it tells me how many calories i've burned moving my mouse. It's useless, but very cool. Since i reset the "Global Trip Counter" last nignt, my mouse has traveled 1,020.454 feet, and i've burned 15.610 Kcalories moving it.

    if (your.Life != lifestyles.Programming) { me.Hate(your.Life) = true; } Do not click this link

      Did you have to configure it with the mass of the mouse (and that of your hand) and the coefficient of friction between it and the mouse pad?

            You forgot to add in the speed and acceleration of my cursor. And of course, no, it does not ask for any of those things.
