Been a long time...
So Its been a long minute since I updated this thing but since I'm the only person that actually reads this thing I will forgive myself this one time.
The Point of this post is to inform me (and you... whoever you are) about the awesomeness of a few little apps and sites that are true life savers...
ninite.com This little bad boy makes reinstalling your OS a piece of cake. Select the programs that you use the most and let Ninite do all of the hard work for you. Best of all it says no to shitware like Yahoo tool bar and other annoying additions that may be included in the installer!
MysticThumbs is an amazing program that gives Windows Explorer (XP/Vista/7) the ability to show previews (thumbnails) of .PSD, .PDF, .tga, .dds and many more image file types. Version 2 of MysticThumbs should be out soon.
Along the same lines as MysticThumbs Fast Picture Viewer will solve all RAW file previewing issues.
Instant Eyedropper automatically pastes the HTML color code of any pixel into your clipboard for fast color selection outside of Photoshop or any other image editor for that matter.
LR2 / TreeExporter will export an entire catalog of images from Lightroom but retain the original images folder structure. It is one of a bunch of amazing tools made by Timothy Armes @ Photographer's Toolbox.
Another Lightroom plugin genius is Jeffery Friedl. He has lots of good stuff on his site but his GPS plugin is the bees knees for photographers who don't have GPS built into their cameras.

Custom User Menus in Maya
I tend to be back and forth between Polygon, surface and animation tabs a ton when I'm working in Maya. I have no shortage of hotkeys and marking menus but I think this little trick can make navigation a much more happy task.
In Maya open the mode selection drop down box on the status line and pick customize.
Click the New Menus Set button and name your menu.
The middle pane is the Menus that are currently active in your Menu set. The right pane is all available menu. You can either right click or middle mouse drag the items you want to add to your new menus set. Once the item is in the middle pane "Menus in menu set" you can reorder your selections with middle mouse drag.
Now you have your own menu! But wait it gets better!
Hotbox to boot!
Remember to save your preferences (Window>Settings/Preferences>Preferences>Save) and Enjoy!

Add some randomness to your life
Update 7-2-2009 - added uniform scaling options per Mr. Villabon's request.
Here is a simple MEL script I wrote called Tater. Tater is a random transform (rotate, scale, translate) Tool. Just pick the Axis u want and the type of transform and Tater does the work for you.
Update 10-8-2011 - Script is broken in Maya 2011 and 2012 do to some changes in the way MEL handles UIs. I will be updating the script soon.
Tater.mel (right click and save as)
