Does anyone use the 'Services' menu?

The mac finder and most apps have a "Services" menu under the main App menu. I never think to use it -- Is anyone out there using these "Services" to improve productivity/effectiveness? How so?

I use DEVON's "Word Service"...

I use DEVON's "Word Service" countless times a day. The additional functions it adds to any Cocoa application using Apple's Text Engine is brilliant. TextEdit with Word Services makes a wonderful little writing application. (Although I prefer TextWrangler, still using Word Services instead of some of the same functions within TW.)

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
