It has been nearly 6 months since my last update and I haven't changed much, but there are some additions:


Characters is a program that lives in your menu bar and provides access to a number of characters you don't find on the keyboard.  I use it mostly for writing software requirements.  For example:  ½ of a dozen is 6 and that's the same as 12 ÷ 2.  ¿Como?


Display Menu is nice if you're on Mountain Lion because Apple got rid of a lot of the available resolution sizes for monitors.  When you jump between conference rooms all day long this app becomes invaluable.


*DEVONthink Pro is something I'm playing with right now.  I haven't even begun to unlock its potential, but between iCloud, Adobe Creative Connection, Google Drive, SkyDrive, DropBox, and my various harddrives I have a ton of files.  DEVONthink helps me to catalog things by project, so it is great for staying organized.


*Prizmo applies OCR technology to scanned items and images.  It is really nice for pealing text off of screen shots.  If you work with people who like to send you a lot of screen shots and then need to turn those into tasks for others to work on, this sure makes life easier!


*iStat Menus is something I've used for a long time as a widget.  I finally got their latest version and can monitor CPU power, RAM, and even set fan speeds all from the menu bar.


*MacUpdate Desktop has become one of my favorite new apps as it helps me to keep all of my applications up to date.
