Using what you already have.

My desktop is pretty simple. My dock is keep hidden and contains only the Finder, Fire Fox, iTunes and my System Preferences. For a wile I was trying out diffrent application launchers such as Quicksilver but, I found spotlight to work just fine. In addition to spotlight I’ve pined an application folder to my doc that I open in grid view for easy access to all my most used applications. It’s quick and simple without the need of third-party applications. I keep my menu bar clear of everything but the clock, the day and the time. Over all I feel my set up is both minimal and functional without the bloat of third-party applications. (as fun as they can be.)
