I currently use a combination of OSX Image Capture, Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS2. Image Capture pulls photos from my SD card into an 'incoming' directory, which I then use Bridge to browse over, delete the really awful photos and then add metadata and back up to an archive disk. Then, while I am in Bridge, I launch Camera Raw -> Photoshop CS2 to process photos that are 'potentials'. If the results are good then I rate them in Bridge after saving.
Once I have done that, I filter in Bridge to find the photos that I have rated, back them up and then throw them into a 'pre' directory. I have an Automator action which batch processes the photos in the 'pre' directory, resizing them for upload to Flickr / wherever else.
It works pretty well, although it is a bit long-winded and it requires a bit of discipline to work through. I do find myself lusting after a more integrated workflow application, though.
