Chicago Crime Watch 1.1
Chicago Crime Watch - Monitor a Chicago city block with data from http://www.chicagocrime.org more>>
This widget can monitor any of the city blocks serviced by http://chicagocrime.org - one of the first Google Maps mashups. Due to the infrequent updates to the crime data, this widget caches data for a minimum of six hours, and it checks to see whether it should update automatically, when the Dashboard layer is shown.
The widget also checks network connectivity to prevent hangups.
As a Chicago resident, I find this widget to be pretty useful, and I hope that others will as well. I have a couple of improvements that I would like to make, but in the meantime, enjoy! (And I promise the widget is much better designed than this website!)
Enhancements:
- Cocoa network connectivity checking plugin updated to be a Universal Binary.
SimCity 2000
SimCity 2000 allows the user to build and manage a metropolis more>>
SimCity 2000 allows the user to build and manage a metropolis. Youre given a plot of barren land to zone into industrial, residential, and commercial areas where people work, live, and play.
Lay roads, subways, highways, and railroads to connect the zones and watch your city grow as citizens immigrate. As your city grows, you must deal with crime, education, and health issues by strategically placing police stations, schools, and hospitals.
Add parks and stadiums, on-ramps and bus stops, airports and seaports as your citizens needs grow. Manage traffic, the budget, and the needs of your constituents, or face riots, public ridicule in the presses, and eventual impeachment.

Gun Self Defense Counter 3.1
Counts how many times guns have been used in self-defense since January 1 of the current year. more>> Counts how many times guns have been used in self-defense since January 1 of the current year.
If you use a Macintosh and carry a gun or just value our Bill of Rights, you might want to download our Gun Self-Defense Counter widget. It is the widget form of the counter that appears at the top of this page, just below the menu.
Using data from authoritative studies on the use of guns, in self-defense, it counts how many times guns have been used in self-defense, since the beginning of this year.
The widget ticks over another number every 13 seconds. The back side of the widget has a scrollable window that details where the data for these calculations originated. Those of you who saw the earlier versions of this widget will notice that the front side of the new version 3.0 has been reduced in size.
This is to preserve Dashboard space for other widgets. But, the widget expands when flipped over, to make it easier to read the details. It also resets automatically on January 1 of each successive year.
Calculations used in this widget are based on the now famous study by renowned criminologists Gary Kleck & Marc Gertz that was reported in the The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, Northwestern University School of Law, (Fall 1995) titled, "Armed Resistance to Crime: The Prevalence and Nature of Self-Defense With a Gun."
This is the most exhaustive and detailed study of how guns are used in self defense, to date. The study shows that guns are used in self-defense about 2.5 million times a year or once every 13 seconds, on average. In other words, guns are used about 60 times more often to protect innocent life than to take a life. Handguns are involved in over 1.9 million of those self-defense cases.
Enhancements
- This version makes the widget completely compatible with OS X 10.5 Leopard.
