Google them for more info:

Taco HTML Edit (If you're into HTML)
PodTube (Downloading vids from YouTube)

..err that is all that comes to mind. Sad, I know. There are tons of apps, checkout MacUpdate for more. I'm sure someone else will be able to point out more.

Edit: Maybe have some fun with widgets?

You mean other than all the stuff that comes free with OS X?

Try http://osx.iusethis.com/ there's loads of stuff on there.

Inquisitor makes Safari so much better, that's my top pick

http://www.opensourcemac.org/ also has a great list of FOSS software broken down by category. I'd definitely check there as well.

Flip4mac is key - allows multiple types of videos to play through quicktime.

Neo Office is a good choice for an office program.

Definitely a necessity, but I also agree with an earlier poster that VLC is needed. Quicktime chokes on a lot of different video formats but VLC plays anything I throw at it.
