TypeIt4Me

I just realized I hadn't posted anything on TypeIt4Me yet. TI4M is an absolutely fabulous* utility that expands my abbreviations to full-grown blocks of text (words, paragraphs, etc.). For example:
"ejb" expands to "Erik J. Barzeski"
"hns" expands to "http://nslog.com"
"fssw" expands to "Freshly Squeezed Software"
"teh" expands to "the"
"becuase" expands to "because"
So, not only can it save you keystrokes when typing your name, but it can correct typos. In the terminal. In your browser. In your email app. In your development environment. Nearly anywhere you can type.
I hope the next version supports a few more built-in expansions, such as "whatshewantstohear" and "whateverwillgetmelaid." He'd sell a billion!
* Obligatory "fabulous" footnote.

"whatshewantstohear" expands to "I love you."
"whateverwillgetmelaid" expands to "I love you and I can afford a full carat, vvs1 brilliant cut diamond that is a D on the color scale."
