	This is what I do (assuming your on Linux):

	After the TEXT directive in your .conkyrc file put:
		
	Reminders for today - ${execi 3600 date "+%A, %B %d - %Y"}
	${execpi 900 /usr/bin/rem | sed -e '1d'}

	---

	The fist line I use a custom date to output something like:
	"Reminders for today - Monday, January 24 - 2011

	The next line outputs my reminders and I pipe it to SED to
	delete the first line.

	Hope this helps, ~Shawn
