has a bunch of nice articles about OS X and some of the best apps that have been converted to native formats, including this breathless (but accurate – I too love my text editor) article about BBEdit 6.1 for Mac OS X.
Poking around at
the O’Reilly Network and associated sites this morning. Bopping around from politics to introductions to things I’m starting to play with and stuff. So far, I’ve come across the following interesting new (and no so new) stuff: The CSS Anarchist Strikes Again!; Is Open Source Un-American?; a bunch of OnLamp PHP articles; and Code + Law: An Interview with Lawrence Lessig.
If you’re interested in
peer to peer developments but missed the big conference a few weeks ago, go directly to Graeme Thickins’ O’Reilly P2P Conference Report. It’s an excellent account of the proceedings, including tons of quotes. My favourite bit was the recap of Lawrence Lessig’s presentation.

: Notes from the O’Reilly P2P Conference. Interesting stuff. P2P is very interesting, and the trick for me is that it seems that the flexibility of the very idea is built in. In many ways it’s just restating the original vision of the web, which has ended up being hampered by the narrower vision of the first couple of waves of development. I would hate to see a proscriptive definition of P2P overtake the openness of the concept.
The peer to peer
part of Tim O’Reilly’s article Remaking the Peer-to-Peer Meme [O’Reilly Network via Ed] might be the least interesting part of it – though it’s a good read. More interesting to me is to see the thought process. Like Ed, I want to work with meme maps a bit more – they could be really useful in my job.
