Stuff I've been liking lately

• Google Reader
  The new Google Reader redesign is totally sweet. I switched from Bloglines and doubt I'll be going back. (Things they should add: make it quicker to categorize feeds, integrate Google bookmarks.)
• Windows Live Writer
  This is the best blogging client I've used. I can't get the style detection working properly, but even without that I'm real happy.
• MIDI-OX
  I've been setting up my MIDI keyboard for live use and MIDI-OX is indeed "the world's greatest all-purpose MIDI utility". Great for MIDI diagnostic, filtering and mapping.
