Update
The TV series spin-off of the Stars Wars film franchise [...]

iTunes for your fonts
LinoType FontExplorer is out of beta. It’s a great product, it’s like iTunes for your fonts. And it’s free.
Google buys Sketchup
Google just bought Sketchup. Wow. Sketchup is a 3D app that is both easy to use and very advanced. There has been a Google Earth Plugin for Sketchup available for quite some time, which let you put your Sketchup 3D models into Google Earth.

Menubar – new Flickr group
I got a question from a reader tonight, which I found easier to answer by uploading a screenshot to Flickr.
All icons are marked with notes – hover over them to see what they are (on Flickr, I don’t have that functionality on my site).
Flickr group
I also made a new Flickr group for your menubar [...]
