Make website albums of your digital photographs. With JAlbum, no extra software is needed to view the albums, just your web browser. Unlike “server side” album scripts, JAlbum albums can be served from a plain web server without scripting support. You can also share your albums on CD-ROM.

Popular bibliographic references manager. Integrates with TeX, creates citations and, duh, bibliographies. Lots of drag and drop and cut and paste.

In addition to manual typing, drag & drop or cut & paste .bib files into the bibliographic database and automatically opens files downloaded from PubMed. Also keeps track of electronic copies of literature on your computer.

Lean, clean, snippet machine to store information on your Mac. Elegant layout, simple to master. Grab and save notes, serial numbers, photos, anything in a structured free form database (contradictory, but it works).
Caboodle provides a single place to store, organize, and find those little pieces of information that you might have previously stored in Stickies or obscurely-named text files strewn over your desktop.
9WR - Caboodle: Stores information in unique database, both structured, free form.
Clever audio recorder looks like a standard cassette tape deck. Saves audio in MP4/AAC format. Safety feature includes inability to record over other recorded tapes. Create labels and box liners. Tapes can be saved in iTunes and copied to iPod.
Audio recorder exclusively for Mac OS X Leopard, designed with a quick-capture workflow in mind. You’re never more than a single mouse click (or keystroke) away from making a new recording, which are called, unsurprisingly, ‘tapes’. TapeDeck records directly to compressed MP4-AAC audio, making it equally useful for quick high-fidelity samples or hours and hours of lecture.
9WR - TapeDeck: Audio recorder uses cassette tape style, records in MP4/AAC.
Whoa. Not another Omni beta? Yes, but closer to the real thing. Extensive product management application features multiple projects, tasks, resource allocation, scheduling, filtering, timelines, and critical paths. It’s not Microsoft Project, but very good and easy to use.

Online backups is an idea whose time has come. They’re easy to set up, easy to use, backup files in the background. Mozy is a good one of many. Free backups for up to two gigabytes, $4.95 for unlimited storage. It’s a handy, smart utility which does incremental backups (only files that change).
