Useful Stuff
There's a new Mac web site online and it's already proved itself fairly useful 
to me, so I thought I'd pass it on. Useful Mac is a site that lists useful Mac applications -- at this point I'm assuming that someone is vetting the apps that show up there and they're not just listing every new piece of crap that shows up in the marketplace, so it's got a high wheat-to-chaff ratio.
For example, I'm writing this weblog entry with Kung-Log, a simple blogging application that works with Moveable Type's XML-RPC facility.
I also grabbed a copy of iComic, which duplicates some of the features of Daily Comic, but I guess has fewer legal issues because the access methods for each comic are distributed as plugins rather than bundled with the application. It also has cool/annoying window-resizing behavior that is fun to watch for a little while until you turn it off.
I haven't fully browed the list yet, but the stuff there looks pretty good so far, and a lot of it is stuff that I haven't seen anywhere before. Check it out!
