QuickSilver is awesome, but apparently they've stopped supporting it. Alfred is a very similar app and is currently in beta.

I like Sktich for screen shots. You can mark them up, share them online and even start a discussion thread in which others can mark up the original too.

Boulder is a great place, but I suspect its sense of wealth is distorted because of government money. There is a boatload of cash flowing through here by way of the state of Colorado (CU), NASA, NOAA, NCAR etc.

Yeah, but the Newspaper of Record is known for one faker in particular. I'd forgotten Blair was black until you brought it up. Way to go dragging race into it.

Yes because liking a product excessively is exactly like living in the world's worst totalitarian state.

Also, making exaggerated metaphors is like the Holocaust. Or AIDs. You get my drift.

Yeah but SalesForce case management sucks. Their Twitter integration is lipstick on a pig that hasn't had a major UI update since, what, 2001?

When companies spend their brainpower on legal BS instead of innovation, that's a sure sign you should stop using them.
