BetterTouchTool - Just discovered this little gem and it’s great to be able to do more with touchpad gestures. Window snapping feature allowed me to get rid of ShiftIt.Dropbox - If you haven’t heard of it or don’t use it, welcome to Earth.Meteorologist - Handy weather, click for details, extended forecast at radar.ClipMenu - Clipboard organizer and also useful for doing “plain text” pasting in apps without that option natively. Can configure the number of items it remembers.Caffeine - Because it is handy at times.Display - Because I use an external display fairly regularly, but not always the same one.Battery - I know there are slicker third-party ones out there, but the native one does what I need.Bluetooth - For moving stuff to/from my dumbphone.Wi-Fi - Sometimes you need to check or tweak stuff. I use multiple networks in the course of most days.Date and time - Because I always forget and 12-hour time stinks.Spotlight - I occasionally use it to search, more often as a simple calculator. (Just type in your equation!) (From Chris Moellering)

Dropbox - I use this for quick backups, transferring files between computers, and sharing files. Dropbox is perhaps the most frequently used item in my menu bar.Meteorologist - I am a weather junkie, and my office at work has no window, so it is very handy to have a quick way of seeing what the weather is outside. Meteorologist is both simple and powerful, but I am always looking for something even better. The temperature is usually in Celsius, but when I am in the US I prefer to use the local units.SlimBatteryMonitor - This lets me know how much power I have left.  I prefer SlimBatteryMonitor to the Mac OS X default battery monitor because it takes less space, and it provides more information.Time Machine - This lets me easily control Time Machine, and it lets me know if a backup is in progress.AirPort - The wireless network at work is flaky, so this lets me know if I am connected, and it gives me an easy way to control my wireless connection.Time - This gives me the time, and nothing but the time.Fast User Switching - I have multiple accounts on my laptop, so this is very useful.Spotlight - This is my go-to method for finding things on my computer, but it would be nice if the interface were more powerful.
