WordSearchX &
MultiWordSearchX

WordSearchX generates word search puzzles for printout and solving on the screen. MultiWordSearch generates multiple unique word search puzzles. Both are in the same archive, along with some word sets.
iTrack

I got tired of looking for a program which would display what I wanted to see about the currently playing iTunes track: Composer, Title, Performer, Album and Time Remaining, so I wrote one. When it starts, it starts iTunes, tells it to play randomly from the library, and then hides the iTunes window. It then displays a global floating window at the bottom of the screen for the full width of the screen. The track information is displayed centered in the window. If the track information is longer than the window, it scrolls. Uses ScrollCanvas to display.

Since you may not want to display exactly what I display, I've included the project and the scripts.
