TextPander eases typing chores

I'm going to need a third brain (yeah, you heard me) to keep all the keyboard shortcuts in my head, but I'm beginning to wonder what I did before I found TextPander. No, it does not pander to text. How would you do that anyway? TextPander allows you to type simple character combos, and transforms those into whatever you like. Sort of like entities in HTML. Get sick of typing, "best, j" (which is a sort of odd thing to type all the time)? Use TextPander and you can simple type "xj" into any text area and it'll pop back into "best, j" instantly. You can do more than that, using TextPander to insert pics or dates and times, or typing special characters without launching the character palette. It's donationware, so give it a try. Combined with Sticky Keys, TextPander might be a good way to type with one hand... What are you doing with that other hand anyway?
