What's on Serenity's Yosemite Dock right now

I know there are some people who prefer having their Dock along the bottom of the screen, but when you're rocking an 11-inch Air, a bottom Dock takes up valuable screen space. And to borrow from the Doctor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleventh_Doctor): side Docks are cool.  When it comes to the 11-inch Air, screen real estate is at a premium, so I tend to use multiple desktops in Spaces — each with their own desktop picture, naturally. <a href='http://www.imore.com/whats-serenitys-yosemite-dock-right-now' title="What's on Serenity's Yosemite Dock right now"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/12/os-x-yosemite-whats-on-serenity-dock.jpg?itok=KDcPmJ3N' />[/url] The one pictured above is my primary desktop (with a fun little Guardians/Star Wars mashup illustration from Matt Ferguson (http://www.cakesandcomics.com) as my desktop picture). My other desktops have variations of the system wallpaper, for screenshot purposes. I also use a ton of little menubarlet applications, most of which would go in my Dock if they weren't already hiding up in the menu bar. Those include Cloud (http://www.imore.com/tag/cloudapp) for quick uploads; Knock (http://www.imore.com/tag/knock) for remote Mac unlock; 1Password (http://www.imore.com/tag/1password) for all my passwords; Fantastical (http://www.imore.com/tag/fantastical) for quick calendaring; Dropbox (http://www.imore.com/tag/dropbox) for file storage; and CloudClip (http://www.thinkbitz.com/cloudclip/) for wirelessly syncing my clipboard between my Macs and iOS devices. My MacBook Air Dock itself is organized into the following sections: Web, Writing, Communication, Photos, eBooks, and Music. I've got plenty of other apps I'll launch from either the menu bar or Spotlight, but these are the ones I use most often (and also the ones I find myself dragging files to fairly regularly). I have both Safari (http://www.imore.com/tag/safari) and Chrome (http://www.imore.com/tag/google-chrome) at the ready to accomplish different Web-surfing tasks: Safari is my browser of choice for most day-to-day activities, while I use Chrome for Google Hangout meetings and any other work-related multimedia. (YouTube, Dropbox, et cetera.) On the writing side, BBEdit (http://www.imore.com/tag/bbedit) takes the crown: I've used many Markdown-inspired text editors, but I always come back to BBEdit. It's smooth, smart, and its Dropbox sync between computers is excellent. Mail (http://www.imore.com/mail-iphone-ipad), Slack (http://www.imore.com/tag/slack), Messages (http://www.imore.com/tag/messages), Skype (http://www.imore.com/tag/skype), and Tweetbot (http://www.imore.com/tag/tweetbot) make up my communications suite. I've tried several third-party email clients, but as of yet haven't found any I like as much as Mail. (Airmail (http://www.imore.com/airmail-2-mac-email-way-you-want-it) isn't bad, though.) Slack is iMore's central chatroom, while Messages, Skype, and Tweetbot get used for work as well as roller derby, The Incomparable (http://www.theincomparable.com), and more. I can't say I'm thrilled with Skype — is anyone? — but it does what I need it to do for now. Tweetbot is my go-to Twitter client for both my personal Twitter account (http://www.twitter.com/settern) as well as management of the iMore twitter account (http://www.imore.com). I rely on Napkin (http://www.imore.com/mac/napkin), Pixelmator (http://www.imore.com/tag/pixelmator), and Photoshop (http://www.imore.com/tag/photoshop) for all my iMore-related screenshot and photography-editing needs — and a little bit for my personal use, too. I've had a long history with Photoshop, but I'm trying to use Pixelmator more and more as my primary image editor. Its Handoff support with iOS devices is excellent, and it's a real selling point for me at present. Next we've got my ebook tools suite, currently iBooks Author (http://www.imore.com/tag/ibooks-author) and Vellum (http://www.imore.com/tag/vellum). I use iBooks Author for when we want multimedia content and widgets in our ebooks, while Vellum is my all-purpose tool for working on our cross-platform versions. Finally, iTunes (http://www.imore.com/tag/itunes) lurks at the bottom, like the lurking lurker it is. I'd like to take iTunes out of my dock, but I still use it a bit too much to do so. I stream my music library via iTunes Match to my 11-inch MacBook Air to save space, and iTunes is currently the only way I can do that. I do often listen to Beats Music (http://www.imore.com/beats-music-iphone-ipad), but there's no dedicated app for that; instead, I open up a Chrome window. </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-29033"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/419ff246/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/>
