Inspired by a slew of daily feeds that I rummage through each day, one with a very similar title, I thought this would be a good start for a regular more cohesive group of posts to get me going. There are tons of lists out there and anyone can go ahead and access them all after a quick google search, but a lot of them have apps, that while noteworthy, are of absolutely no use for me. As I mentioned before I'm no coding guru, not even good enough to be considered a novice, probably more like a spelunker hopelessly lost in code, lol. So why 50? Well it looks better than 51. Because I have no idea how soon I can complete this list, my goal therefore was to at least have one entry on this topic/tag per week. And since 1 we are already 1 week into 2011....well you get the point, do the math.

This post will not contain any of the 50 I will write about. Rather, treat this as an introductory post to the reviews that follow. Understand that this list will only contain apps that I have used or am using on a daily basis, since that what makes an app essential for me to get things done. So no need to flame if I skip your favorite text/CSS editor. I use Cyberduck for my FTP needs when I was working on my Wordpress site, but that wouldn't count as an essential "everyday" app either. The list will contain both free and paid apps, and definitely not limited to the growing Mac App Store. Although I don't strictly use 50+ apps a day this list will contain the one's that I feel from my workflow would be useful to the average...and maybe slightly above average user.  I will probably write about other apps in this blog but they don't necessarily have to be included in this list either.
