Eudora is going to be based on the Thunderbird platform beginning in 2007. I say: too little, too late. As someone forced to use Eudora because it supports one feature I need, I’m happy to leave it behind. It’s a throwback to choppy OS9 development, with a counterintuitive UI, kitchen-sink style preferences, and strange redraw bugs that never get fixed.

I love Wikipedia. Doing a Google search on an unrelated topic, I found this article, and I think I almost understand it.
I’ve been using a nice little app called On The Job for the past couple of weeks, and it makes keeping track of work much easier. Daring Fireball mentioned Billable this morning, and after I watched the demo, I’m considering a switch—plaintext exporting, editable HTML for the generated invoice and Address Book integration are three things which have me very interested.
NY Times article on the local courts of New York State. I wonder what my uncle would think of this article-he’s a village judge, and handles the type of cases the story describes.
Brand logos in downloadable EPS format. This might save a little time down the road (it just saved me an hour or so.)
