Can I get back desktop Gadgets?

I love desktop gadgets from Windows 7 (calendar, time, CPU usage) and now I am on Windows 8.

I know that those things are removed by Microsoft itself, but can I somehow re-add them?

Or is there something alike that works for me directly from desktop and not from the start menu?
