Leopard Leaps: If you have any interest in such things, you probably know that Mac OS X Leopard shipped yesterday; indeed, you may have been one of the hordes waiting anxiously for the delivery truck. If you’re still on the fence about whether to upgrade your own Mac, tuaw.com has been running a “24 hours of Leopard” series that highlights the most interesting new features. Personally, I don’t see anything that’s going to change my web working life (yet), but it sure is purty.

Shake Up Those Tasks: Lifeshaker is a to-do list app for OS X that features a grid view of goals that lets you get an overview of things that should be at the top of your mind, as well as various other funky visual and audio effects. Might be fun if you’re tired of the corporate look for your task list.

Throw Away Your Scanner: Well, maybe. If you have a high-resolution digital camera (including one on your mobile phone), you can send photos of documents to scanR and get them converted into nice PDFs for you. Turns your camera into an outgoing fax machine, too.

An API to Social Networks – Rapleaf, the service that’s trying to track reputations and memberships across social networks, now has a RESTful API to let others leverage their data. It’s free for up to 4,000 queries per day.
