944 Geek Image is a widget for showing an image from the web in your dashboard. This is expected to be an image that will be changing regularly, like a webcam or a dynamically generated graph.

Geek Image differs from other image displaying widgets in that it will either resize itself to the image being displayed, or you can resize it to scale the image to whatever size you like. You can also adjust the refresh rate, and have it refresh at different rates when the dashboard is visible and when it is not.

Geek Image is inspired by and named after GeekTool, a truly wonderful application that lets you put images and other things in your desktop.
