Here’s a few things that are making my life awesome recently:

• Groupon – $25 for $50 worth of food (and similar awesome deals)? Um, yes please! Subscribe to this, it’s in a ton of cities and has GREAT deals.
• TCB Courier – For all of you who remember Kozmo.com or know Pink Dot in LA, you’ll be delighted to know we have something similar in SF again! Imagine you’re hosting a party, and you’re running out of wine, or you spaced buying dessert. For $6, TCB Courier will deliver whatever you want! Keep in mind it’s mostly just to the Mission/SOMA areas – see their map & funny video.
• The new Chase no-envelope ATMs are incredible (more commentary/info here, here & here). They make depositing checks so much easier, faster & less paper waste! Now if only their online banking site would catch up & be as sexy.
• Californication – I’m so into this show right now. Scored Season 3 and I’m just loving it.

And a few geeky computer things that are making my life awesome recently:

• Airfoil – After finally getting my Airport Express working again on my home stereo, I quickly realized I didn’t like being limited to only playing music out of iTunes. I wanted to stream music from Firefox – like playlists on Blip.fm or Last.fm – to my stereo. And that’s precisely what this does. So rad!
• Organized – From the makers of iStatPro, an app that they call a “Swiss Army knife for your Dashboard, including a calendar, world clocks, notes, iCal events and to do’s”  Which may beg the question, who uses the dashboard anymore? Well, I hadn’t for a long time… at least not regularly, besides occasionally checking the weather or time in another zone/country*. But recently I saw Buzz tweet about the Today app, and it made me think, “I like that, but surely someone’s made something similar for the Dashboard.” So after finding Organized, I got back into it (even setting Exposé to display it when I roll off top-right). *It also took care of me needing to use the world clocks I had set up before, because it’s a tab on Organized. Love it! This company also makes some awesome iPhone apps, under the name Bjango.
• Minutes – I often need a quick timer, whether it’s to remind myself to go re-park my car, or that I have 5 minutes till I need to call someone for a phone meeting… Minutes is so well done. I haven’t even used some of the other cool things it has, like opening a file or starting/stoping iTunes… but I love that it does those.
• Spirited Away – My friend, Gabe, reminded me of this gem. My computer can get pretty crazy, multi-tasking with windows everywhere, and that’s where Spirited Away comes in. It helps whisk away windows you’re not looking at to keep the view clean. I just don’t like how it hijacks the command+H shortcut to manually hide, which I use all the time… probably out of habit because everything was always needing to be hidden manually! Just got to get used to Spirited Away taking care of it for me.
• Aviary Firefox Add-On – I am an avid fan of Skitch, but am thrilled to have the Aviary plugin for when I need to take a screenshot of a full page, and then copy it to the clipboard – which I then usually paste into Skitch to post it there or Flickr [example]. I find this works better, and is faster than ScreenGrab!, which is what I used before for full or partial page screenshots.

Stay tooned for Part 2… which is my list of ‘things that are making my life awesome’ in a more personal realm.
