Event Calendar
Alex over at Firetree has a great plugin called Event Calendar. All was just dandy until it stopped showing the (single post) for an event. Yes, it's in the future and it turns out it wouldn't show up if the visitor wasn't logged into the site. Thanks to Norman for the hack.

Headline Images
Brian Dupuis created a plugin I just love. It renders regular old text into any font you can upload (.ttf, true type font). So you can grab any font you like and make that your banner, your headline images, etc. I use it on this site and here are a few other examples: Left Coast [...]

I have installed (on some sites) a new editor that allows you to more easily bold, italicize, etc. the content of your entry in WordPress.
