While reading blogHelper's post about using Wordpress as a CMS, I noticed the menu of views in the upper right corner.

I thought this was a very clever and interesting way to expose users to various aspects of the content.

UPDATE: Mac Pro, yes, but Xeon based. W00!

So, most of us Mac users don't care about a developer conference, right?

According to Adobe:

Another app I've come to appreciate on the Mac is WriteRoom, a full-screen writing environment - nothing but blackness, green lettering, and you.
