AppFresh - After installing all these apps, you'll need an easy way to keep them up-to-date, right? Enter AppFresh.
Cyberduck - The best FTP client I've found for OS X. It's fast, allows for remote editing, is well integrated with the Finder, and generally rocks.
Gimp - Like Photoshop, but $600 cheaper.
Growl - A notification system that integrates with oodles of apps.
HyperEdit - Until Nvu comes out with a Universal Binary, this is going to be my favorite HTML/PHP/CSS editor. It's lightweight and does a great job handling live previews.
iConcertCal - An iTunes plugin that shows upcoming concerts and album release dates for artists in your iTunes library.
Jumpcut - A clipboard extender that lets you store multiple clips and access your copy history. Intuitive and invaluable. Because of this app, I can't stand using other people's computers.
Miro - Manages videos and video feed subscriptions. Good video player with nice interface.
NeoOffice - Think Microsoft Office, but built for OS X. And free. (Built on the OpenOffice platform with Aqua integration.)
Quicksilver - This is magic. I only use it for really basic things like finding and launching, but I think it might make you coffee and function as a time machine with the right plug-ins.
Transmission - Easily OS X's best BitTorent client.
TVShows - Integrates with a BitTorrent client to act like a TiVo for your computer.
xPad - I used to have lots of text documents saved on my desktop (to-do lists, notes, etc.) Now I just have xPad in the Dock. Great improvement.

Shoebox - Photo browser and organizer. Handles large libraries better than iPhoto, doesn't move files around or create duplicates, and has a nifty backup system.
TextMate - Extremely versatile text editor. I use it for all my coding. And it's shiny!
Xslimmer - Strips unnecessary code from Universal Binaries, freeing up disk space. Not all that necessary, but it's kinda fun.

Quench Zine - I may be biased because I'm a contributor, but it would still be an awesome blog without me. I think we've defined it as a "gender, sexuality, and WTF?!" blog.
Lifehacker - I think the time I spend reading this site cancels out the time I save by reading it.
Mahalo - Human-powered search engine of Awesome.
Price Protectr - Keeps track of purchases under price protection from oodles of stores.
Project Vote Smart - Non-profit, non-partisan voters' information organization. They're saving democracy.
Threadless - A constantly rotating stock of user-designed shirts. They're fun. And really comfy.
Woot - They sell something cheap every day. Thanks to this site, I've bought so many things I never knew I needed...
xkcd - Geeky and amazing.
