Ask YC: Quick desktop blogging tool

Hey guys - can anyone recommend a tool/widget that quickly let's you post to a WP (.com) blog without logging in to the admin panel, etc (i.e., not using the browser)? Something like Twhirl but for blogging?

you can email a self-hosted wordpress blog, i'd image you could do the same for a wp.com one. subject = title, body = post body, you'll have to set a default category for incoming email posts

Thanks for tip. I am on Win so got WLW. Also found BlogDesk which looks decent & lightweight. Will try out both.
