So, discovered a cool looking new(ish) google gadget today:
desktop.google.com/plugins/i/b ...

It shows you and selected google talk contacts as little colored people performing activities such as listening to music or playing a game. When you mouse over them you get details. So, go forth and find out stuff. Which games does it recognize? any quirks or easter eggs? I can't seem to get any of my google talk contacts on it. :-/

All i know so far is that it works well with winamp. and when winamp is stopped it shows me as "working", no matter what i'm doing, with a weird looking speech bubble type thing coming down from "my" head.
