Stuff in my MacOS X menubar

[avram]

From left to right:

Youpi Key: Gives me a menu I can toss all sorts of neat stuff into — application launchers, terminal commands, keyboard macros, net and system actions, etc. — and asssign them keyboard shortcuts. I can even define different sets of menu entries for different apps.

Searchling: The power of Google, but not quite in my pants. Click the icon (or just type the redefinable keyboard shortcut) and a little window pops up that you can type a search string into. Also does dictionary searches, eBay, IMDB, Barnes & Noble, etc. Results get directed to your browser.

WeatherManX: Talks to a weather server every ten minutes, displays curent temperature and precipitation in the menubar with more info (including forecasts) in the menu. There’s also a classic Mac version.

Computers rock when they aren’t sucking.
