What's In Your Menu Bar

What is in your menu bar?

At Macworld 2014, Mac Developer Brett Terpstra turned heads when he revealed what he had running in his menu bar while sharing his screen. In all, he had 42 menu bar icons and people were amazed because he was on a MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM. Brett is considered a Mad Scientist. Aside from his day job at Oracle he's made a ton of apps over the years including NV-Alt, NV-Ultra and Marked. He proved to folks that Macs can handle a lot of background processes and still work just fine. That's been my philosophy too, so I have never really limited myself on startup items unless I noticed problems. Today I checked to see what I've got in my menu bar and lo and behold, I have crossed the Terpstra Threshold. What's in your menu bar?
