Topic: Comic strip

How about a widget that displays random comics....  You could pick several different sources (ie, dilbert, penny arcade) and cycle thru them.

Also, it would be really neat to wake up via the chumby alarm and have the latest strip automatically ready to read - something to look forward to when you open your eyes smile

Generally, the alarm capability should be enhanced to allow one to trigger arbitrary widgets and have them stick around for a predefined amount of time.

For example, at 5:30, you could trigger a 'recipe of the day' widget to give some culinary inspiration.  Lots of possibilities...
