Concern

I’ll echo some great OS X apps that run as little icons in the menu bar:

• FuzzyClock, which renders the time as a “fuzzy” string, like “quarter after seven” or “nearly eight”. My only wish is that it would also show the date, like “monday, april thirtieth.” Too bad it’s closed source (but, at least he isn’t trying to charge $9.99 for it, which a lot of Mac “developers” like to do).
• Spirited Away. This app will automatically hide applications that are in the background, and haven’t been used in a while.

(Both of these via the magic of Merlin)

Edit: I hacked together a date menulet, which has no preferences panel yet, but does what I want.
