The "app launcher"
Quicksilver has just replaced
LaunchBar on my computers. That's saying a lot, considering both that LaunchBar has long been on of my most loved programs, and that I've paid for LaunchBar and Quicksilver is "just" free.
Quicksilver has oddly just moved from open beta into closed beta. While to me it seems stable enough, I think the developer wants to be able to continue development without the miles of bug reports that will come from the hordes of user that are coming as the word spreads about how cool Quicksilver.

I'm excited about the upcoming
Rails framework for Ruby from
David Hansson.
Browsing through the collection of
fonts by Dieter Steffmann, I can't help but imagine websites or entire companies to go with each gorgeous typeface.
