ialert

from angeman:
iAlert is a preference pane which allows you to display an alert with a transparent floating window whenever a particular event occurs and lets you interact with the application that launched it.

The built-in plugins can show alerts when :

* web sites are updated
* a download is completed in Safari or Firefox
* new articles are fetched in Safari RSS
* you receive new messages in Mail, Entourage or Thunderbird
* you receive new messages or your friends get connected on iChat
* a new song is played in iTunes

You can also set up alarms and timers.

The alerts are fully customizable and you can control their size, their position on the screen, their opacity, their color and their background picture.

iAlert supports plugins : you can use AppleScript, make a shell script or use the iAlertBridge framework in your cocoa application to add your own alerts (See iAlertUserGuide for documentation).

jackwidget

from dave richmond:
JackWidget is a multi-purpose search tool. It provides quick access to dozens of commonly used web searches. It has a search field and a popup menu. The search field, of course, is for typing in the search. The popup menu is for selecting which site or sites to search. Some of the popup items actually send your search to several websites at once. It’s as easy as typing in some search terms, choosing a search from the popup menu, and hitting return. The widget activates Safari and executes the search(es). It also supports command line interface style usage, allowing the user to bypass the popup menu. It has over two dozen searches built in, and is infinitely customizable (if you know how to open a widget package and edit XML files).

tibetan prayer mill

in tibetan buddhism, the mantra is the equivalent of prayer, and if you spin these “prayer wheels” (or prayer mills), it is like you are saying (and activating) the mantra that is engraved on the wheel you are spinning.

i’d visit this application to take a break from coding, typing, designing (or whatever it is you do) on the computer. you’ll get a reprieve from your carpal tunnel syndrome and in spinning your prayer wheel, you can contemplate your life and the preciousness of all that is.
