• Change iTunes 10 to look like 8. Vastly superior to that program I mentioned last week that themed elements of iTunes 10 with 9.

• Build your own magnetic levitator

• Script to toggle viewing hidden files in the Finder.

• Building a laser cutter using only a 1 Watt diode. Man, if only I had time...

• Keep your iPhone wifi connection live. That way you're not always turning the phone on just to access it from the Finder. Add the Insomnia SBSetting to turn this off when not in use.

• The psychological benefits of schedules. Sadly I've found this as well. The main reason I quit doing IT is people would want me in at 9 and be in late working on the machines.

• How to port a font to iOS.

• Windows Live Sync for Mac available. I might give this an other try. In the spring I'd looked at a ton of syncing options and none of them, including Microsoft's, were up to the task. I loved the idea of Live Sync (then Live Mesh) but it just didn't work well in the beta.

• Sharing your dotfiles. I really need to go back and reorganize all my .bash_profile stuff. Maybe that'll be a good way to get a few more scripting posts up here.
