Jedi Concentrate

Any Mac OS X Exposé fans out there? I thought so. Well, as part of the "AnAppADay" project as Jason wrote about the other day, and we told you about earlier, Jedi Concentrate is like Mac's Exposé (in a way). It basically toggles to make everything but your current window darkened so you can focus on the work you are doing at the moment. You could call it a stripped-down dark-room clone for Windows if you want to. Dana Hanna (self-proclaimed software Jedi) is jamming, kicking out a bunch of useful apps in 30 days. All of the apps thus far are available on his site. He has been on Digg and Lifehacker many times lately, and it's because his apps are cool and even useful. Props to you Dana!
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

... or single-taskers can go back to DOS based apps. No distraction there :)

I'm not much of a Mac fan, but I love this little app, and using it's increased my productivity. Well, maybe. Big drawback is, it uses a lot of processor cycles for what it does, but then again, if you're really that worried about single-tasking, you're probably not using those cycles anyway.
