I use Bus圜al for my calendar, Notational Velocity for quick notes, Yojimbo for longer and graphic heavy stuff (PDFs, Websites, RTF, etc.), Tweetie for Twitter, and Concentrate for, well, concentrating.

It even has a full screen mode (and I love me some full screen mode).īeyond that, the list is varied. It is a great way to reduce distraction and focus in on just one website or a small group. There are a few more for other projects too. I have one for the 37 Signals suite of apps, because I use those for my business. I am also a big fan of Fluid.app, which allows you to make site specific browsers. I think it is the most underrated program on the Mac. If I have to write anything it usually begins in TextEdit and moves along from there. It may be boring to some but Safari, Mail and TextEdit are actually the most used programs on my Mac.

What software do you use on a daily basis, and for what do you use it? If I had my druthers I would have a Macbook Air but it lacks the ports and space I need to get my job done most days. Therefore, I really need to have a good machine with me for information retrieval and troubleshooting purposes. My business requires me to be out of the office on a regular basis at client locations. This was the best choice available (and it was Black). When the second one of those died on me Apple no longer made them. Previous to this, I had a Powerbook G4 12-inch which is my favorite Mac of all time.

I am a big fan of portability and, at the time I bought it, this was the most portable of Apple’s lineup. While at my desk, I use an Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (the tiny, sexy one) and a Logitech VX Revolution mouse. Having more hard disk space than I need for myself allows me to avoid having to carry an external drive. For instance, there are times when I may need to recover a couple of hundred gigs of data from a dying machine. As a tech consultant, I do need to have it available if the need arises for a client. I really do try to keep my own computing world as stripped down to the basics as possible. I don’t have any music or movies or such (we will get to that later). In fact, I currently have 240GB available. I rarely come close to using all that that power and space. My main machine is a “Blackbook” 2.0GHz 13-inch that I have upgraded with 4GB of RAM and a 320GB, 7200 RPM hard drive.
