My favorite Blog Reader: SharpReader, of course. :) It turned one year old this month.
My favorite Windows Utility (possibly of all time): FinePrint Much more than just a utility for printing two-up on a page; it is print driver that provides a full print preview and print management utility. Microsoft should pay them tons of money and add to Windows.
UPDATE (2006-Oct-05): I’ve since moved on from SharpReader and now use FeedDemon. But Fineprint is still my absolute favorite Windows utility.
