65. Hobbies

Got a hobby? Chances are, a fellow hobbyist has (often single-handedly) created software to help you pursue your passion on a Mac. Examples include:

  • Delicious Library Drawing rave reviews for its visual, "it's on the shelf" method for organizing your software, books, games, and videos, Delicious Library (www.delicious-monster.com, $40.00, seen in Figure 26) tracks who borrowed what and when. As you scan ISBN barcodes with your iSight camera, Delicious Library populates each database entry with Amazon.com product info.

    Figure 26. Delicious Library organizes your media on virtual shelves, snags product info from Amazon.com, and keeps track of who borrowed what.

  • Reunion Reunion (www.leisterpro.com, $99.00) brings family trees to life, producing graphical tree charts, ancestral profiles (complete with photos, sound bytes, and videos), and book-worthy reports in a variety of formats. It's the most media-rich personal genealogy package I've seen.

  • Meditation Timer Designed to help you manage meditation without watching the clock, Meditation Timer (whenderson.blogspot.com; free, donations appreciated) plays gentle chimes at intervals you specify. You can even export sessions to iTunes, and then burn custom meditation CDs!
