Teleport
Recently rediscovered when trying to wirelessly share the keyboard/mouse of my MacBook Pro with the G5 in the living room. Coupled with Apple+option+8, even text entry from the couch is possible. BAMF!
Menufela
A Haxie that automatically hides/shows the Apple menu bar (because you can’t read the menu bar text from the couch anyway).
Minterview
Sam at Peppermint Tea had some civilized questions for me about life in the Mint lane and plans for 2008. I was only too happy to oblige with some answers.

Add a Mint icon to your 1.1.3 iPhone home screen
Cameron Hunt and Shawn Blanc hammered something out over Twitter last night. Once I can upgrade my unlocked 1.1.1 iPhone this will get baked into the next release of Mint or the iPhone Pepper.

Potters qualify as trivial knowledge in Sweden
Cool beyond words. (I grabbed a copy of the photo since the Potters don’t do permalinks.)

Tabulate
An open-in-new-tab bookmarklet (with a handy flag-for-later option) for Safari touch. Sweet. (via Cameron)

Predicting the Past
Two must-read articles in ALA’s latest, Beyond DOCTYPE and From Switches to Targets. Future-proofing never seemed so backward.
X-Ball-Chain
Stepping back from the impact of the new X-UA-Compatible
instruction on web developers, Robert O’Callahan poses some questions about the impact on browser developers. (via Jeremy)
Layer Tennis People’s Choice
Vote for your ideal head-to-head from this past season’s participants. The Philly triumvirate seems especially popular.
