How many menu bar icons do you really need?
I’m down to four, kinda.
Let me start by saying you should work to eliminate anything that doesn’t provide value to you. This being said, let’s look at all the applications I had that take up menu bar space (and my attention as well). Note: You can remove any apple icon (or third-party app that properly uses the menu bar framework) by Cmd-Dragging it off.

Yup you heard right. Boot an OS X Client installation boot camp style.
Open up Terminal and create a ServerVersion.plist on the hard drive you want to boot from (Replace Macintosh HD with your volume’s name):
touch “/Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist”
Open Disk Utility and unmount the disk you want to boot from.

Click to Flash - An alternative to Safari Adblock... →
Right now Safari Adblock requires you to run Safari in 32 bit mode if you’re using snow leopard. A good alternative is to use Click to Flash which will block all flash content by default. You’ll still see a lot of ads, but at least they won’t be slowing your browser down. It also allows you to view HD h.264 videos on YouTube without ever loading the flash player.

Sync your iPhone or iTouch from the Command Line
You could just run this command:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/Resources/reenumerate $(system_profiler | grep -A3 iPhone | grep Vendor | awk ‘{ print $3 }’),$(system_profiler | grep -A3 iPhone | grep Product | awk ‘{ print $3 }’)
But I suggest you first get your iPhone’s Vendor ID and Product ID and then set up an alias.

Thoughts on Liars
When you don’t look up to someone, it’s easy to tell when they are lying.
The reverse is true when you look up to someone; it’s harder to tell when they’re lying.
Thoughts on Legs
If you ask someone to do something, and your legs are in the open, chances are you won’t get what you want.
But if your legs are covered, your legs look unavailable, so you are more likely to get that person to do what you ask.
I think this tricks the mind into thinking your are helpless because you have no legs.
