I discovered the Easy Envelopes widget over at Apple Gazette This widget makes it really easy to print an envelope without having to open Word or some similar app, and without having to worry about formatting. It’s literally faster than scribbling it out by hand, which is half of the point for me; the other half is satisfying my OCD by having nice, clean print. 
It autopopulates the return address by looking up your “Me” record in the OS X address book. You may then fill in the destination address by searching for a contact or by manually typing in an address. Very well thought out.
The widget did a great job at getting over typical problem areas, like printer and paper size. Overall, this widget is definitely Ambrosia calibre. And it’s free!

There have been a few times now that I needed to start a VMware virtual machine on my server but I wasn't on a PC that had the VMware console installed. Besides, unless I'm on my own network, starting up a server with the VMware console can be a pain due to slower upstream speeds.
Well, I finally took the time to find out how to do this from the command line. It's simple.
Get the current state of the virtual machine. Is it running or not?
$ vmware-cmd /path/to/vm/machine.vmx getstate
And start it.
$ vmware-cmd /path/to/vm/machine.vmx start
There are many other things you can do as well. Just man vmware-cmd.
All my Windows geek friends have nifty taskbar software that indicates the temperature of the CPU and other useless but interesting geek information about their systems.
iStat Pro is cooler than any of the tools they have. Developed as a dashboard widget, iStat Pro displays CPU temperature and fan speed, but also duplicates all the information in Activity Monitor, displaying typical geek Unix system info, like active processes, memory usage, and so on.
All in a dashboard widget, and all for free (donationware)!
