DuckCall
DuckCall is a nifty little utility that is a one-trick pony, but it's a pretty cool trick. Every 30 seconds it takes a snapshot with your iSight camera and sets that picture as your iChat or Adium buddy picture. The author notes that it's "very crude, and consists of a PyObjC wrapper round a stand-alone binary (to get the picture from the iSight) and a bunch of AppleScript (to set the picture into iChat / Adium)." As you can see to the right (behold my thoroughly unattractive office bookshelves), it works fine on my MacBook with iChat (I didn't test it with Adium). This is a pretty neat idea for personalizing your iChats when a full video chat is not an option.
