GeekTool
GeekTool simply lets you put anything on your desktop. This could be a text file, for example, to monitor OS X’s activity, or an image to show information about something. I’ve never actually used it so I can’t say much about it, but you may love it, especially if you’re a geek!

Proporta Aluminium Lined Leather Case for the iPod Touch 2G
Another review of a Proporta iPod Touch case. This time, it’s the Proporta Aluminium Lined Leather Case for the iPod Touch 2G. This is a standard kind of ‘flippy’ case. It has an aluminium lined flap that protects the iPod’s screen which is the best feature about it. The flappy bit is also magnetic, so [...]
