Using the Mac OS X Color Picker as a Stand-Alone App
I’ve been looking for a good, simple, system-wide color picker. The built-in Mac OS X one is great, but it needs to be launched from within an existing application.

Daily Deeds: The Other Side of “Getting Things Done”
For me, apps like Omni Focus or Things — although great at managing tasks — don’t give you a complete picture of the things that need to get done. I’m talking about things that you’d like to do, maybe even every day, but that maybe don’t fit into a particular project or “Area of Responsibility”. [...]
