You bet it is. And it gets better.

On MacOS Tiger, there is a Dashboard widget for you to cut and paste
to.

Also, my friend gave me a bookmark that will work in Mozilla and Safari
and should work in IE, I believe. You exec a javascript from a bookmark
and it calls tinyurl with your current URL.

Make this a bookmark (I put it on the toolbar)

javascript:void(location.href='http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url='+location.href)
