Who Thinks of Time in “Business Days?”

We’ve asked our mechanic to check it out, trying to describe […]

NetNewsWire- What Does This Button Do?
For some reason this morning, NetNewsWire Lite (my desktop OS X RSS reader) was slow in updating the feeds, so I started poking around the interface. In the bottom left I noticed a small double arrow control labeled “default”, and I thought… “what does this do?”: Why it’s a menu! What does it do?: It’s […]
