So I got a Macbook Pro. I *really* thought that I was going to miss my Gentoo Linux machine but I'm coping pretty well so far. Here are the applications that I am running at the moment (maybe the other Mac people out there will care). All are available for Intel and PPC machines.

  • iTerm - I needs my command prompt
  • Camino - purportedly the best Mac browser
  • Adium X - because iChat isn't good enough
  • Seashore - not Photoshop (Gimp for Mac)
  • Vienna - free RSS/Atom reader
  • OmniGraffle - one of my favorite Mac apps
  • OpenOffice - sometimes I need to work on Word and Excel docs
  • Sizzling Keys - create keyboard shortcuts that control iTunes. I love this thing.
  • Growl - more unified notifications from my various apps
  • Fink - because my command line needs dircolors, subversion, and pine.
  • Mac the Ripper - for backing up (ahem) my DVDs
  • CoverFlow - pretty cool eye candy for your music library (use Corripio to get missing album art
  • Parallels - lets me run Windows in a window. A little slower than I thought it would be.
  • Eclipse - programmery stuff
PS - The built in iSight is cooler than I thought it would be. It's fun to hold my books up and watch Delicious Monster add them to my Library. Photo Booth is pretty fun - check out the pictures that Jess posted on her blog.
