While Quicksilver is phenomenally powerfull, there are some limitations. One of the most frustrating is the inability to chain commands together. And when I say commands, I’m not talking about the individual panes in Quicksilver, but the fully blown, all singing, all dancing actions. For example, in my five things that make Quicksilver Awesome post […]

Like most people, I’m a fan of flickr. It’s just a great place to store your pictures and discover new ones.

A number of my sites have carried Adsense adverts for a while. However, I’ve never really designed with them in mind.
