Yojimbo 1.5 ★: Tons of new features and improvements to one of my very favorite apps, including significant performance gains for large libraries, support for images (including icons) as a native data type, scripting fixes when running on Leopard, and more. See Bare Bones’s copious release notes for the full list.
A List Apart: A Preview of HTML 5 ★: Nice overview of the progress and current state of HTML 5. It’s elegant and, above all, practical. Be sure to check out the comments, too — a big concern seems to be the estimated 10-15 year timeframe for completion of the spec, but what’s being overlooked is that current browser makers are already implementing some of this stuff. (The <canvas> tag is a perfect example.)
