Launcher
I'm going nuts.
EDIT:
Found something.
Colibri is the retarded cousin of Quicksilver, but at least it gets done the launcher aspect of QS, if not the pipes and manipulation actions.
EDIT #2
AppRocket is better than Colibri but still not quite there either, but at least something useful comes up after hitting Ctrl-Space.

Passover Coke
Passover Coke.
There are some Jews who can not have any corn-related products during Passover, so the good people at Coke make soda with REAL sugar, not corn fructose. I am not a Jew, I am more than happy to pretend today.
You can really taste the difference.
Look for the yellow bottle caps (2 liter size only, with the OU-P).
Even this Coke doesn't hold a candle to Dr. Pepper made from real sugar cane. That is really something to die for.

Bond Lake Park
It was a lot of fun, but a gray day. Lots of geese everywhere.

Work is Fun
Part of our tape library.
Some of our VCR's and DVD recorders.
Some of our Buffalo tapes.
Work has been fun lately. We're converting over from VHS to a mixture of DVD's and DVR's. We do news monitoring and also advertising and marketing research on what airs on TV.
I'll post some pictures of our server rack tomorrow. I've been redoing the cabling so it looks pretty instead of like the flying spaghetti monster.

Widgets are mostly graphical, but really they're just scripts and a scripting engine that can do whatever you want (as long as it has rights on the local machine). Most of them are clocks and weatherbars and crap... but there are some useful ones, too.
I think a quicksilver-like widget might be useful. If you develop it, I'd use it ;)
Otherwise, (e:paul)'s suggestion to use the start-R function is the simplest solution to your needs.
Widgets are graphical, and I'm looking for a keyboard-based launcher, which does text and item manipulation and is scriptable.
I'm checking out <a href="http://candylabs.com/">AppRocket</a> now, a Google search for "Quicksilver for Windows" turned up some possibles.
:::link:::
There's all kinds of other neat things widgets can do. I'm thinking of putting together an estrip widget, if there's interest in having one.
e.g. windows key +r type 'notepad' starts up maya for me.
