I should really be doing something else right now, but I wanted to get this out.

Now that is one good looking collection of great software! :)

If you helped create one of those apps in any way, I thank thee.

One of these days I'll also post a list of web apps that I rely on or that I really admire, if people are interested.

Ok, back to work!
