If you use Konfabulator, there is a "Sticky Note" widget that works pretty well. You can move it, resize it, change it's colors, etc...

If I need to save a quick list or a note I just save it as a draft in Gmail, and I have it anywhere I am.

Why all the reinventing of the wheel. Either buy a package of real sticky notes, or use notepad. No sense in overcomplicating things.

Google Desktop has this:

Scratch Pad: Type and save notes for yourself. The Scratch Pad automatically saves itself whenever you type a character in it, so don't worry about remembering to save it. In Options, you can save your notes to a file or clear the Scratch Pad.

but the notes are always in the 'Notes' section. which defeats its point...i want them...right ther eon the desktop...so they can remind me of things that i need to do.
And no, i dont want to havbe like 5 notepad files, which i would never open.

cmon, i swear there was a program i used to use abt 5 yrs ago...but didnt need it as much back then
