I’m a sucker for a nice desktop. Currently using NerdTool (thanks, drdrang and Brett Terpstra) and WallSaver.

UPDATE:

Forgot to detail, just for the sake of completeness, the items in the menubar. From left to right, we have:

PeepOpen: Great plugin for TextMate, MacVim, Emacs, Aquamacs, Coda or XCode for finding files. It’s really good. One of my favorite features is that it automatically orders by the date you late modified something; so if you look in a rails app for a file named index (of which you probably have dozens), the first one listed will be the last one you edited, which is often exactly the one I want.

Dropbox: Files, online. Wait, am I supposed to say “in the cloud” now? Anyway. The truth is out there.

Google Calendar/Mail Notifiers: If you want to be notified of that sort of thing.

Alfred: Instead of Spotlight. It has a few extra features (empty your trash bin with a few keystrokes), I find I like it a lot.

Evernote: I’m still not sold on this app, but I’m giving it a try.

Flux: You’ll just have to read the description on the site…

Littleipsum: Lorem ipsum text generator. I wish the UI was better, but it’s ok.

Caffeine: Keeps your mac awake, of course. Nice for presentations.

MenuMeters: So you don’t need to keep activity monitor open all the time. I mean, you will anyways, but you don’t need to.

The rest are just standard Mac OS stuff: Spaces, Displays, TimeMachine(not used, using Crashplan), Bluetooth, WiFi, Sound, Keyboard-switcher (for when I switch back to Dvorak… eventually), Battery, Date, Spotlight, phew.
