A couple are utilities I wrote for work that help build job templates and generate reports for address lists that we use. One is used by News25 to upload their school/business closings during the winter season. The Xbox image in the upper right corner of this page was generated using an app that I wrote. It grabs my latest avatar image as well as the icons for the last 16 games I've played and combines them into one composite image, then uploads it to my blog. And the last one that I use the most is a utility to upload my currently playing song information whenever the track changes in iTunes. Once it gathers the track info, it generates and uploads a text file that's used by the OnAirNow script that's on the front page of the blog. None of these are anything ground breaking but they are useful to me and fun as hell to write. I'll post some source to one or more of them sometime soon. I only have a few that I use often.
