It&#8217;s a handy collection of tools that life down in the toolbar zone. The thing we really like about it is the time tracker.</p>
<p>But, oh! We fawn and we drool for <a href="http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/">FolderSize</a>, which grants us a long-desired ability to see the size of a folder without hopping down into the folder properties. Swoon!</p>
<p>We have been on the lookout for tools and apps for our <a href="http://www.apple.com/support/powermac/g3/">new/old Mac</a>. Todayt, the mighty lifehacker gave us a collection of apps, some free some not. Some, then, we shall use and some we shan&#8217;t. <a href="http://macspecialist.org/content/articles/essential_apps/">Essential OS X Applications</a> from MacSpecialist.</p>
<p>A site called Flagrant Disregard offers up a bunch of <a href="http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/">flickr &#8220;toys&#8221;</a> which look interesting. Essentially, they are tools to mess with pictures on flickr. Nice.</p>
<p>And lastly today, we have a bunch of parenting hacks from <a href="http://www.parenthacks.com/">parent hacks</a>.  No, it&#8217;s not a site of parents who are hacks, but you know, hacks for, like, your kids&#8230; if you were Mr. Smith and your kids were Neo. Or something. Anyway, we like them.</p>
