January 2010
Brent Simmons, creator of NetNewsWire, launched the idea yesterday that the time is ripe for someone, or more accurately some group, to develop a new, lean Cocoa-based email application for the Mac.
The working name for the project is Letters or Letters.app.
Earlier this week I read a “real” book for the first time since I got my Kindle last year. It was interesting to see how much my brain had retrained itself to the Kindle.
Over the holiday weekend I found the time to knock out several updates to the site that have been on my someday / maybe list for a while now. The big one was moving the site to a new domain name, kenclark.me, in place of the old one, kenclarksblog.com
I downloaded Acorn today for a test run. I was a little lazy and launched the app from my Downloads folder and right after was pleasantly surprised to see this dialog box pop up on my screen.
It’s a small thing, but such a simple way to make the end user’s life easier. I can’t recall ever seeing this in another app. A very nice touch and a great first impression.
