My first Windows 7 gadget

I have just finished developing my first Windows 7 gadget – Windows 7 Satellite Imagery gadget. It is a gadget that is capable of displaying the latest satellite images from all continents.

You can download it from: gallery.live.com (Windows Live Gallery – primary site)

If you have any suggestions, feel free to contact me either by commenting on this post, sending me a message on twitter, or checking out the projects page (coming soon).
