A useful and detailed guide to making handmade notebooks. I've been thinking about this a bit recently, because I'd like to make notebooks with my own choice of paper and re-usable, durable covers.
I've had this happen quite a lot on one Mac: you just get the 'Building...' message when you try to open the Services menu, so this tip is very helpful. I've put the command in an Automator workflow, or I'll forget it when I next need it.
I love reading these things, probably because I am incredibly nosy. I'm right with him on the indespensibility of LaunchBar.
A tale of a mentally challenged dog who doesn't know what to do with stairs, and apparently can't escape from a blanket. Hilarious, and the drawings are adorable.
In depth (and mostly positive) review of the iPhone 4.
Beautifully clear and usable layout of the articles in each day's Guardian, created by Phil Gyford. It even has h,j,k,l navigation to go foward/back articles and scroll each article up and down. Squee!
A simple but useful service to save and share bits of text online. No sign-up or logging in involved, though you can choose to password protect your snippet.
A very clear tutorial on using Tinderbox to create HTML. Covers the basics, but also goes in to some more advanced techniques. You can download the template and files used at GitHub.
