# New Breed Software - Tux Paint "is a free, award-winning drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 (preschool and K-6). It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program." Works well. Fun sounds. Interesting painting tools. Runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, and more. Great for kids of all ages. [tuaw]

# Omni Group - OmniGraffle "is a powerful, yet easy to use diagramming and drawing tool. OmniGraffle can help you make amazing graphic documents quickly by keeping lines connected to shapes even when they're moved, providing stencils full of common symbols for you to drag and drop, and magically organizing diagrams with just one click. Create flow charts, org charts, network diagrams, family trees, project processes, office layouts - or anything else that can be represented by symbols and lines." Comes in regular ($80) and Pro ($150) versions. I haven't mentioned it here before because it's a bit expensive for my needs. I really only need a diagramming app to read the Visio diagrams that some people at work send out. But I discovered yesterday that Omnigraffle is free to use as a reader. The only limitation on the unregistered versions is that you can only modify documents with a maximum of 20 elements. The Pro app can import and export Visio documents. So I'm golden. [irc]

# Andy Lee - AppKiDo is a Cocoa documentation browser for Mac OS X. Small, quick, very nicely done. I'm starting to do some Cocoa programming with OpenMCL, a free open-source Common Lisp system that runs on PowerPC and X86-64 Mac, Linux, and FreeBSD, so this will be useful. Requires Xcode 2.3 or later.
