Aside form that tiny quibble, this is a great round-up.

I just installed Day One for Mac after having it on iOS for some time and am loving it. Simple to use with a great interface and kind of stupendously gorgeous to look at. It takes the now-common Tweetie-inspired black sidebar on left UI to a whole new level.

Timmeh42 has apparently never seen an old school LED display which were used in the 70's PRIOR to the advent of LCD technology, mostly in watches which required a button push to activate the display.

When always on liquid crystal display technology came out that didn't require a button push, it quickly replaced LED's, but in my (and apparently the creators of this app) opinion never looked anywhere near as cool.

While this app is neither LCD or LED, it's plainly trying to recreate the LED look and is as legitimately "RETRO" as it gets.

I was going to ask why the Optoma over the Epson, but then I checked out the price. Agree that projectors are the choice for movie watching.
I've got a non-home theater Epson I use for training presentations hooked up to my macBook and even at the grainy 800x600 dpi resolution, the movie theater ambiance it provides far exceeds my 36" flatscreen. Trading in for a better projector and selling the flat screen on eBay.

Alarms and Divvy are the two I can't live without. NameChanger less so since it's only occasional. I have Magic Prefs but it's pretty useless on my non magic macBook. HAve nocturne too, don't use it much. Have to check out SoundSource.

@omahamonster Did you watch the video. Completely different functions. Spaces allows you to shift screen spaces and doesn't have anything to do with resizing windows inside the spaces. All Divvy does is allow you to resize windows to fit the space your in. Works great with Spaces and HyperSpaces, which is what I use.

I'd add more color, but I usually think that. It would be nice to see what's facing on the opposite side instead of 3 shots of the same view. I love open spaces like this and especially appreciate the modular units under the windows. Great space.

It kind of helps to have a living room that looks as much like a night club as a living room.

Sometimes my cat likes FroliCat, sometimes not. My 2 year old Lab/Shepherd mix, on the other hand, is obsessed, and unlike the cats, still hasn't figured out the connection between the emitter and the light beam. (It's possible to adjust the radius of the turning circle.)

Both my cats love Fling-a-mastring.

My first early-morning-without-coffee impression of the Rosemary & Grapefruit was that you stuffed a slab of meat in a glass with ice an rosemary. Now I can't see it any other way. Pity because it sounds delicious.

Interesting. Not enough to dissuade me, but I'll keep my eyes open for the next study.

I'm still not sure whether the studies tested sitting on exercise ball or an exercise ball chair, which isn't the same thing and in which the various different designs would be a factor.
