Stanford Courses
A guy I met in my freshman dorm, Mike Mintz, created Stanford Courses as a speedier alternative to Axess for looking up course information.
It’s much pleasanter to peruse classes on Stanford Courses than it is to suffer through Axess’s painfully slow and backwards search features. From now on, I’ll be composing my class list on Stanford Courses and then heading to Axess just to enter the class numbers and officially register.
Thanks Mike!

Simplify Web Searching
Smplr is a nifty search service with an obnoxiously web-2.0 name. It allows you to access different engines by way of tagging your search — for example, “bt:” searches The Pirate Bay and “film:” searches IMDb.
Of course, you could always use Quicksilver to set system-wide hotkeys for all these searches.
