Twhirl - a very nice Twitter client for Mac and Windows
There is a very nice client application for accessing, updating Twitter. It's called twhirl. I've used it for a couple days and I like it. I was previously using Twitterific. You can read more about it and download it here.

Eric Chatonet, Revolution Developer, Passes
My friend Eric Chatonet died from a stroke this last weekend. He was a great software developer as well as an architect, designer, and all-around great guy. This week's Top Ten on the Rev Mentor site is dedicated to him and his most recent software, ListMagic. All Revolution users are urged to purchase ListMagic from the Revolution store. It's great software and I'm sure Eric's estate could use the revenue.

Professional Level Swearing
John Gruber of Daring Fireball posted a link about this blog which I believe was written by Jonathan Rentzsch...
Do NOT click on the image above or this link, unless you would enjoy reading some really significant swearing at Adobe engineers. Personally, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I switched from Photoshop to Pixelmator as I grew intolerant of Adobe's "software" (experimenting with components from their Air environment) and their "prices" (held hostage).
