Today Ben Brooks posted his list of apps he would buy first if he had to start all over again. So why not join in on that fun?

My list of apps I would buy first:

• Dropbox - duh
• Backblaze - backup computer and 2 Drobos
• 1Password - manage all passwords
• Aperture - photo management and editing
• OmniFocus - manage my tasks
• OmniGraffle - draw pretty pictures (I’m a software architect)
• Sparrow - Gmail client
• Reeder - RSS reader
• TextMate - robust text editor
• FontCase - manage my font fetish
• LittleSnapper - take/manage screenshots
• Acorn - cheap, lightweight image editor (I no longer use Adobe Photoshop even though I have CS5)
• Alfred - launcher/productivity app
• TextExpander - excellent timesaver, just get it
• SuperDuper! - create full, bootable backups
• Transmit - FTP client
