Here’s a resource post for the growing number of mac lovers I am encountering in my circles lately. People are coming to mac like crazy. A mac revival is spreading across the land like wildfire and people are seeing the light like never before. So, religious imagery aside, here is a list of mac apps that will kick start your discipleship toward eternal computing paradise.
- Delicious Library – 40$, but well worth it.
- Books Application – it’s a free library and a good alternative to Delicious
- Adium – a messenger
- Ecto – for blogging, this is the best software out there for 20$
- Liquid CD – for burning
- Mac the Ripper – for importing your movies onto your mac
- Omni Outliner – for organizing your ideas
- Skim – a great PDF reader with many options
- You’ll love Skitch for image sharing and manipulation (by invite only…so search google for skitch invites and see what you find)
- X-Pad for taking notes – it’s easy and clean
- Journler – a great little app
- Firefox Campus Edition – with some cool research and multimedia options

John,
thanks for the links – some good stuff here. Also I am a huge QS fan, been using it for more than 3 years now and have customized mine a lot. If you haven’t used it much, check out the clipboard shortcuts in it, I use them a lot.
thanks Wes…I just got QS loaded and have started using it (I replaced the apple space bar hot key in spotlight for it). I will definitely check out the clipboard shortcuts.
