I’m often looking for apps to help myself be a little more organized or help myself get a task done better or more quickly.

The following link will take you to a great listing of apps that you may or not already know about.

Name Changer and Anxiety are two of my favorite lesser known apps.

Name Changer allows you to instantly rename a group of files.  Very handy if you shoot hundreds of photographs at an event and need to rename and number them to reflect the event.

Anxiety is just an extremely handy to do list that ties in with iCal.

Thanks to Designer Dash Daily Dot Com for putting together such a great list!

Google imagesize trick

Here’s a quick tip for finding a desktop image that’s the right size for your screen. Sure you could go to a site like InterfaceLIFT and browse around, but maybe you want the perfect picture of your favorite place in the world: Las Vegas. Head on over to google’s image search and try searching for this:

imagesize:1680x1050 las vegas

The trick is in the first half of the query (the ‘imagesize:’ part) tells google to only return images of that exact size. So now when you need that perfect image of a trebuchet for your computer, you know how to get it without too much hassle.
