If you’re like me, you’re into screen real estate, application organization and technology working effortlessly in harmony. Who isn’t, really?
This is my late night setup. This is how I roll at 3AM when I’m usually plugging away at something. In the photo above, you can see I’m rocking Twitterific to keep up with my tweets and iTunes to provide some passive entertainment — in this case, Firefly.
Major update to Red Sweater Software’s excellent desktop weblog editor. Performance, compatibility, the user interface. I don’t think there’s any aspect of MarsEdit 2.0 that hasn’t been improved from version 1. Plus there are new features like Flickr integration.
John has been using the 2.0 betas to write Daring Fireball for months — and I’m using it to post this from first seeing it in NetNewsWire.
I do wish there was better support for tagging in WordPress but the latest SVN releases don’t even having categories anymore, just tags. Therefore, in the future it won’t be a problem.
What I particularly like is the image uploading features and Flickr integration. No more saving an image to my desktop and then uploading it via the WordPress web administration panel — now I just drag it over and insert it in the post.
I like the idea of not having to log in to the web interface to update things. I do need to work on customization and setting up some post templates and whatnot to really streamline it.

Who loves wide screens? This guy.
Once you go wide, you can never go back. As such, I like my Mac apps even more when they’re tailored for the extra screen real estate.
### Apple Mail ###
You idiots that use Microsoft Entourage and Outlook can no longer tote your 3-column juice. With the help of Letterbox Plugin, I’m now rocking wide.
Letterbox is a plugin for Apple’s Mail.app that takes advantage of your widescreen monitor. It rearranges the interface into three vertical columns — so the message pane is to the right of the message list, rather than below. You’ll probably need at least 1280 and perhaps 1440 horizontal pixels for this layout to work well for you.
### NetNewsWire ###
I live in NetNewsWire. It’s organized, it syncs with .Mac, it’s pretty, and it’s wide. Three-pane RSS feed juice — this is what it’s all about, kids.
What other apps can I three-columnize?
