Paper Hoff!
This has been around for a while, I guess. A Hasselhoff paper doll:

There's always the humorously blasphemous Pope paper doll, too!

Replacement Apple Trackpad Driver
A replacement driver for the MacBook Pro trackpad,SideTrack,
offers some useful features.
The driver costs $15 for use beyond the trial period, though. Not a bad price, but I wouldn't gain much from it now.
I'm already used to the way the driver from Apple accomplishes most of these tasks. I don't think I would like to have special areas of the trackpad set aside for scrolling, since that would reduce the functional size of the trackpad.
The only thing that's tempting me is the ability to map taps in the corner of the trackpad to special button clicks. I would give up a corner or two for cmd-click and shift-click.

OpenOffice For Mac OS X Soon
A colleague pointed out to me that OpenOffice will be available for Mac OS X soon, porting: OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X : Download Aqua.
Actually, OpenOffice has been available for OSX under the name NeoOffice for over a year. But that is a kind of repackaged OpenOffice with enhancements to make it work with OSX. It will be exciting to have a version of the software that will be closer to the core application.
Additional information is available here:

Change Mac OS X Default Screenshot Format
This looks useful. The hint is old, I wonder if it works with newer versions of the OS.

SanDisk U3 Partition Killer
The BRAT Blog � Cruzer Micro, and the unholy U3 “read-only” crap
This is a clever way of getting the stupid SanDisk U3 partition out of the way. It would be nice if I could find some way to reclaim the space used by that partition, but I may settle for this.
