A couple quick notes…

Free Mac newsreaders!

NetNewsWire is the undisputed king of the hill as far as Mac newsreaders go (especially since it went free), but there are a number of other free options out there. Fortunately for us, MacRecon published a short roundup of free Mac newsreaders. It’s worth a look, especially if you’re not too familiar with the other players in the field.

Tetris for Dashboard

Admit it. You spent hours upon hours of quality time with your original Game Boy playing Tetris. Since then you’ve moved on to bigger and batter games, but there’s still no going wrong with a game of Tetris now and then, especially if you have a few minutes of downtime. If this sounds like you, take a look at this Tetris game widget for Dashboard.

It’s Tetris as you know it (and in grayscale too!), but for your Dashboard. This widget allows you to pause and continue games, and as a nice touch, it pauses automatically when you hide Dashboard (Uh oh, boss coming! Hide it!)

The Tetris widget is still in beta, but is a free download from Apple’s Dashboard widget site. Check it out.
