Language Log on Mail’s Keychain Dialog 

I agree that the wording of this dialog is atrocious; “Change” and “Don’t Change” are inscrutable given the preceding description. But “Yes” and “No” are almost always bad button names, as well; better would be “Allow” and “Don’t Allow”. (Thanks to James Troutman for the link.)

Yahoo Messenger for Mac 3.0b1 

Radically improved new version of Yahoo Messenger for Mac. Very nice iChat-esque UI, and includes support for video conferencing. If I actually knew anyone who uses Yahoo Messenger, I’d use this.

Go Ape Shirts 

Another excellent new t-shirt store. I just ordered myself a Boo Boo Walker.
