Handpicked Software

I stumbled on this completely by accident. If you hit Command-R in Safari, you’ll reload the current page. I was surfing the web when I went to check something in Dashboard, then hit Command-R while Dashboard was still active. The target widget twisted (actually, it looks more like the twirl effected in Photoshop; I wasn’t fast enough to capture a screen shot), and refreshed itself. The effect works with any Dashboard widget though, obviously, the widget won’t change if there’s no information to refresh. Give it a try.
