Since the launch of the Amazon DRM free mp3 store, the way I shop for music has changed. I still prefer to browse for my music using iTunes. When I find something I want to buy I head over to Amazon.com mp3 store to see if its available in a higher quality DRM free version. If it is available it's usually at a cheaper price than iTunes.
Apparently this is how others do it also. I did a short post about this on Twitter and @PhillyMac_Chat sent me a link to a wonderful free script that makes this whole process easier.

TextExpander is a great mac application for using customized abbreviations for frequently used text strings and images. The Video Tutorials will show you some of the ways you can use TextExpander.

With all the applications that are running on our macs it can be increasingly difficult to stay focused when you have some serious work to do. Most of the time I have multiple apps opened up with windows everywhere. I'm constantly switching from email, to safari, to twitter, to itunes, to text editors, to twitter....then to twitter again.
When play time is over and I have work or studying to do, there is a free app that helps me keep my focus on a single application.
