Poladroid is a great free Mac application. When you drag a photo to Poladroid, it creates a Polaroid-like photo on your desktop. A Windows version is expected by December.
Windows users can take control of your Send To menu when you right-click on a document. Send to Toys allows you to edit what appears in that menu.
WindowShop has to be the future of shopping online! Check it out at windowshop.com.
I wrote about the Griffin Simplifi when it was released, and now I have it in the studio. For those of you who were wondering, it is compatible with the iPhone. Original units were not shipping with the adapter, but you can pick up one of those separately. If you buy a Simplifi now, it will have the adapter included.
Thanks to all of you who nominated us for Best Video Podcast at the Podcast Awards! We’re very honored. You can vote every day until November 6th.

Ummm, you have always been able to ad anything to your sendto menu in Windows. Just put a shortcut to the application or folder in C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo. By default this folder is hidden so you have to goto Tools>folder options and check show hidden files and folder from C:\Documents and Settings\username.

Cali,
You have our vote! (Mine and the guys in my classes).
Are you listed in another area besides Best Video Podcast? I wanted to make sure I hadn’t missed any.
You do a great job. We look forward to your cast every day in my classes (it gives them a nice break from listening to me).

FYI…
The Send To menu is easily accessible to any user.
Windows XP users can place a shortcut in the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\[InsertYourLogonIDHere]\SendTo
Vista users can place a shortcut in the following directory:
C:\Users\[InsertYourLogonIDHere]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
Just replace [InsertYourLogonIDHere] with your user name you log in with.
