I'm glad seeing interests for pie menus. They have some limitations (ie.: screen space and number of elements) but present major advantages offer linear menus. One I like is the possibility to use marks for selection instead of pointing. Gordon Kurtembach made a Ph.D. thesis on the subject, calling it "Marking Menus":
KURTENBACH G. (1993). "The design and evaluation of marking menus", University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, 173 p. There's another implementation for Firefox that might interest you. Its called easyGestures: http://easygestures.mozdev.org/ Also, here's a very interresting project called "Circle Dock" to allow you to select application in windows: http://circledock.wikidot.com/ For mac, the equivalent would be Trampoline: http://www.old-jewel.com/trampoline/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
