This post is going to be about what I got in my menu bar and hopes that I can help you get some cool stuff in there. Now you may not want to put to much in your menu bar cause you will get quite a bit in there lol. But here we go.
First thing I have in my menu bar that you may like to have is ByteController It adds a previous and next track button and a pause/play button to your menu bar. It is used to control your itunes of course and it can be handy at times.
Then there's WeatherSnitch. This app shows your current weather outside and also has a detailed forcast. Just enter your zip code and it will show up. It also has growl support so everytime the weather is updated it will show you also.
Then there's iStat Menus. It adds the stats of anything you choose for it to track onto your menu bar. I have mine showing my networks current upload and download speed. I also have it showing my proccesor usage and I also have it showing my ram usage. It by far is a really nice app to have and of course all these apps are free so thats really nice.
I also have my clock changed to show like this. Wed Jun * 27 * 2007 * 2:48PM. It's really nice cause I can see date and everything just by looking up into my task bar. The tutorial can be found at this link. Now that is the topic of the video that will show you how to do it.
Well thanks for reading and hope to hear from you all.

Keeping Your Mac Running Smoothly
Ok I had a request for this so I'm going to help you guys the best I can. I use apps and stuff to do this so I'll name the apps and put links so you guys can get em to.
I can say my number one app I use to keep my computer running top notch has to be "Onyx". Made by Titanium Softwares. It does one heck of a job doing anything you need maitnence for. I use to clean all my caches, repair permissions and optimize my system. It is really the one app I recommend and the only thing I use. I've had the iMac G5 for over 2 years and its still running as good as new. So definitley get this app. It can be found out this link. http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
Now another app that is awesome to have is "Mac Pilot". It unlocks alot of hidden features and turns stuff off that you dont want running. I use it to turn off my dashboard when I dont need it cause it is quite the ram hog. Mac Pilot is made by "Koingo Software" and can be found at http://www.koingosw.com/products/macpilot.php. So if you want to keep your system optimized and running in tip top shape I suggest using these two apps.
If you would like to see more questions answered go ahead and contact me =)
