This spiffy little website lets you create those little favicons in your browser. It also has a good library of ones people have put up for public use. This is a lot easier then using Photoshop to create the icons like I have done in the past. You can also upload images which it will convert for you to use.

vs 
Well after playing with these two Windows desktop blogging applications I would have to say that I am shocked, I am actually going to pick the product that is done by Microsoft! So Windows Live Writer is the winner. Both products are in beta still but Live Writer has a big leg up.
Zoundary:
- Automatically copies the URL to the link to dialog box
- Easy setup, and auto discovery of blog
- Ability to easily change and edit posts
- Spell Check automatically
Windows Live Writer:
- All the above in addition to plug-ins
- Ability to add maps, tables, video on the fly!
- Cleaner interface
- Shorter load time
- Doesn’t download all your blogs only selectively updates them
- Easier manipulation of photo’s and text
- LONG time to run through install but easy to setup
- Ability to add categories to your blog
- Better WYSIWYG interface and better interpretation of CSS sheets from the blog

There are also some plugins that you can download and install for the writer here.
Verdict is still out if this is better than Zoundary but thought I would give it a try and play with it for a couple of days before I make a decision.
If you have ever had a need to find the old versions of some popular apps or apps that are no longer findable. OldApps lists a bunch of links to older version downloads.

Alright this is for secret santa, you just enter the names of the people and select send and it sends to everyone you have email address for and you can send the master list to one account. It requires an SMTP server access to mail the list. Saves a ton of time:
