Congratulations to the Phoenix Mars Lander team on a job well done! 
This morning while working on the laptop I installed a NASATV widget to the Vista toolbar. This enabled me to continue working while watching the landing… yes some guys can multitask. hehehe
The other widget I use is from the WorldTimeServer. I have 4 clocks visible that automatically set themselves to the timezone of my choosing. I find it nice to know the home time when my Yodas are Twittering.
You can find all sorts of useful (& useless) tools for your Vista Toolbar at this Microsoft Site
Feel free to download a few and see if they are of any use to you.
cheers
Adrian
PS and thanks to Dr Jim for this choice first picture of the landing. lol
