Hmm. Couldn't you put an alias to all the apps you need in a folder and
leave that on your desktop? Say you call the folder "Go". Then all you
have to do is go to the desktop in finder (command-shift-D) then type Go
to select the folder, then press command-O to open it, command-A to
select all and then command-O again to open all the apps. A few
keystrokes but I imagine after a while you could do them all in five
seconds, no scripting required. If you're looking for an app,
Quicksilver sounds like the right tool but I've never used it so I don't
know how accessible it is: http://qsapp.com/about.php

I googled "Mac opening multiple apps at once"and found several hits,
one of which was a video showing how to create an automator
application to do this. Although it wasn't a blind oriented video, it
was relatively simple to figure out. Now I have an application on my
desktop called "Video project" that when opened, opens up all the apps
I need to do my work. Also, I have the added bonus of successfully
writing my first automator app. It's not so hard once you get over the
hump with your first one.

My first thought is Applescript. Write and save the script, then run
it whenever.
tell application "Safari" to run
tell application "App Store" to run
and so forth for each app you want. The keyword might be "open"
instead of "run", but the basic idea is the same.

There is something I do normally that requires three or four open
programs. I'm a little tired of opening each one manually. Is there
a way on the Mac to open all the necessary programs with one move.
It has something to do with activities or desktops I think, but I'm
not sure.
