My handwriting is bad. Really bad. It’s been bad for as long as I’ve been able to do cursive, ever since elementary school. Even as an adult my penmanship has frequently been compared with Cuneiform.
Of course, with the advent of computers this shouldn’t be a problem anymore - no-one can tell how atrocious my handwriting […]

Got damn that thing’s swooshy. Awesome looking interface. Shame Steve didn’t show anything about the Calendar functions, I wonder if it moves todos over as well? I don’t see why not, and that’ll tie in well with the Todo service they’re building into Leopard.
But the interface… damn. That’s dead fine. I wonder about practicalities […]
There are a bunch of apps out there - some free and some shareware - that allow you to use your mac as an alarm clock. They’re mostly pretty good too, but I like the customizability of an Automator based solution, and I think you will too - with a little drag and drop you […]
