BYU MUG RSS News widget for X.4 and X.5 Leopard
BYUMUGRSS needs to be updated. The BYU MUG is updating its site; so, this should be updated shortly after the site regains rss capability.
Note
This page contains several fun little applications for Macs running OS X. All of the links are direct download links or are direct links to pages at other reputable sites.
All applications by me are considered donation ware. This means that they are free to use. If you have a few dollars, then donate a few dollars (it keeps me inspired to continue creating and improving apps).
BYU MUG RSS Widget, MagicWand, iTunes AlarmClock (coming soon), and MagicDeskTopSwitch make up all the applications created by be on this site.
MagicDesktopSwitch for X.4 and X.5 Leopard
Impress your PC friends! MagicDesktopSwitch switches on your screen saver to run as your Desktop image. Keep MagicDesktopSwitch in your Dock and you can toggle the amazing and magical screen-saver effect at will. Also now available on apple.com, download.com, softpedia, and many other download sites.
This is a goofy application that is guaranteed to make you laugh. It demonstrates the magic words to make a dialog box disappear after 10 seconds.
note: MagicWand is written in AppleScript. Open it up in ScriptEditor and the secret of what makes it tick. Any comments, suggestions, or praises are welcome.
iTunes AlarmClock is still in production; however, it promises some really cool features. What I can tell you right now that iTunes AlarmClock will be a full-featured app that allows you to set your alarm for any day and time so that you can wake up to your favorite iTunes playlist!
You are making no use of your windows? Fenêtre volantes puts them in flight! After some idle time that can be set in the System Preferences, the windows take off the screen and flutter in the void. On a mouse move, the windows immediately come back and stick to their original position.
MacOS X 10.4.6 Tiger or above - Leopard (MacOS X 10.5.0) supported. Donations welcome.
MenuMeters is a set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for Mac OS X.

MagicDesktopSwitch.zip – version 1.1
Version 1.1 has been updated to be able to start your screensaver background automatically at login. Just drag and drop your MagicDesktopSwitch app into the LogIn Items under your username in your “Accounts” System Preference pane.
The icon has a fresh new Leopard look, and the dialog box has been simplified.
Here are some of my favorite “must have” apps (not created by me).
