Description

It's like Visio without the pain of Windows. It's actually better than Visio in some ways, like the ability to make your own shape on the fly. Plus, it makes it so much easier to make boring work diagrams really pretty. I think they're going to start taking away my color palette.

Adium Instant Messenger

18 people recommended this item

Description

I use it every day. Designed in function and feel for the Mac user. If, like me, you've been juggling IM contacts in Yahoo, AOL, and Gmail, not to mention the the dozen others Adium supports, this is for you.

Mozilla Firefox 2

Description

I don't know what they smoke out there at Mozilla, but I want some. This new browser has to be hands down the fastest thing I've ever seen. It loads pages in an instant, even image heavy pages. It must be the trick that they are playing with the network (my husband is a network geek) but it's insanely fast. Did I mention that I want some of what they're on?

Growl

Description

It's an awesome notification app. It lets me see at a glance if the email coming in is something I need to pay attention to, or can blow off until I have time to review it. It tells me what is happening in the chat windows I may not be looking at. And, coolest of all, it's a central notification handler, so a myriad of application can take advantage of it, and everything from Adium to Quicksilver to Skype to Mail uses it.

ASUS Mobile Wireless Access Point - WL-330G

First to recommend

Description

It's small, and so functional. You can throw one into your carry-on for converting wired into wireless ethernet in your hotel rooms. We have connected it to our ReplayTV so that we don't have to run an ethernet cable across our house. Plus, it casts this beautiful blue glow when it's working. (via ASUSTek)
