  If you&#8217;re doing top-down design, you produce a specification that

After wracking my brains to try and remember a random website where I&#8217;d watched a video about TextMate so that I could find the To-do List bundle he mentioned, it turns out a simple search solved my problem. The wonderful GetBundles for TextMate returned what I was after, Ryan Bates&#8217; todo-list.tmbundle.

Update: You can now find this hint on macosxhints.com, along with some (hopefully) helpful comments.

GrowlTunes is a nice little app included with the default Growl distribution. It watches iTunes and then whenever a song changes pops up a notification window giving details about the track, album art, your rating etc.

Teach myself Vim by using it exclusively for 1 month
Write my first (somewhat) useful Ruby script to show me how long I have left (i.e. how long until the month is complete)
Use GeekTool to display the regularly-updated results (via cron) on my desktop
