2355 For all this talk about the future of downloading movies, I personally prefer to come home to a little red envelope from DVD-by-mail service Netflix.

If you have a Netflix account, Dashflix is a Dashboard Widget you can use to keep track of the films you have at home, as well as your entire list of movies waiting to be shipped (yeah, yeah, but how many times can I write "queue" in one entry?).



The front of the widget lists the movies you have at home, and clicking on the yellow bar flips the Widget over to reveal your entire queue (damn!). Sadly, you can't reorder your queue in the Widget, but clicking on a title will open your web browser and go to the film's info page on Netflix.

All in all, a handy tool for when you can't remember whether you're going to watch Blood Simple or Alone in the Dark.
