Cake ★

Steven Frank on Cake, a Rails-like web application framework for PHP.

Matt Neuburg: Write Your Own Automator Actions ★

Terrific article from my favorite Mac writer, on how to create your own Automator actions written in AppleScript.

Mercury Text ★

New typeface family from Hoefler & Frere-Jones, primarily intended for use in newsprint. Great-looking face, with a mind-boggling number of features, including a unique system of four “grades”. The grades allow you to account for differences in paper, ink, and printing method. (Via Kottke.)

Adium X 0.80 ★

Significant update to the open source multi-protocol chat client. Long list of changes, including a much-needed rewrite of the status message system. Too bad file transfers on AIM still don’t work, or I’d switch from iChat in a heartbeat.
