“Certified Mac Software” means I like it. Uh huh.
Our favorite Mac site monitoring tool. Solid, dependable, full of notifications when checking sites. Tracks sites, servers, forums posts, comments on blogs, even checks web mail.
It checks servers for changes or failures, and notifies you via e-mail, sound, speech, Twitter, or other means. You can use it to track updated sites, and to alert you when an important server goes down or recovers.
9WR - Dejal Simon: Server monitor tracks failures, notifies via email, alerts, Twitter.
Ken Humbard’s delightfully useful recipe organizer which features an online library of recipes from users, a full screen view, and a wine and spirits manager. An older, though detailed review.
An easy to use recipe management app focused on four aspects of recipes. Organizing, Sharing, Cooking & Shopping.

Great value for web site or CD photo album creation. Clumsy Java interface, but point and click simplicity, loaded with options. Many different and sometimes attractive ‘skins’ available. None better at this price. Free.

If you’re concerned about Mac security, Little Snitch does what your Mac’s firewall cannot. It protects and alerts you whenever a Mac application tries to communicate from your Mac to wherever. You would be surprised to know how many Mac apps and utilities phone home. A Mac’s firewall protects against unwanted intrusions. Little Snitch protects against unwanted, outbound connections from your Mac.
Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts. This reliably prevents private data from being sent out without your knowledge.
9WR - Little Snitch: Outbound firewall alerts Mac user to outgoing communication requests.
