One Year With Linux ★: Mark Pilgrim, one year after switching from the Mac to Linux:

In fact, none of the usual complaints about Linux (hardware drivers, X configuration, package dependencies) have affected me in any significant way.
Mark Boulton: ‘Five Simple Steps to Better Typography’ ★: Mark Boulton:

Typography, I find, is still a bit of mystery to a lot of designers. The kind of typography I’m talking about is not your typical “What font should I use” typography but rather your “knowing your hanging punctuation from your em-dash” typography. Call me a little bit purist but this bothers me.
Daniel Jalkut on Service Scrubber ★: Nice write-up on a terrific utility. Services are such a great idea — one of the most clever things Mac OS X inherited from NeXTStep. But something like Service Scrubber — that lets you manage them and deal with keyboard shortcut conflicts — is sorely missing from the system itself.
Let’s Not Misuse It — Wherefore ★: Another nice explanation about “wherefore” and Romeo and Juliet, this one from Sterling Ambivalence.
