To fill sometime between now and my next ‘announcement’, I thought I’d share five nine free Mac apps that make my day easier.

1. Firefox - Customizable web browser. I love it.
2. Thunderbird - For work Email.
3. TextWranger - Great all around text/html editor.
4. AOL Radio - XM Radio for free and almost commercial free. Sweet.
5. Adium - The only chat application worth having.
6. Journler - Best everything app. Text, Video, Audio and much more.
7. Quicksilver - Sweet HD search. Like Spotlight only prettier.
8. Skype (on a good day) - I use this daily for my work phone however I’m having issues lately.

It wasn’t long ago when I was researching ‘junk drawer’ type applications. I wanted something to keep track of all my random information. Blog posts, images, URLs, notes and whatever else. My research ended with VoodooPad Lite; until now. Browsing MacUpdate, I came across Journler and I’ve never seen such a great application, especially for free!

Journler has it all. It works as a notebook that I can fill full of text entries, it ties into iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie and iWeb, it can auto convert any entry to my iPod, can access all Safari or Firefox bookmarks and can even record audio or video! That’s just the start of the range of Journler.
