Essential Software List (updated)
Back in November of 2005 I posted a list of software that I consider essential pieces of my technology arsenal. I thought it would be fun to update the list to see what I’m still using, what’s new, and what’s changed. Here goes:

Status: Replaced
In 2005 I wrote of Quicksilver:

windborne
I got my first ride since some time in January in on the bike, 26 miles on a familiar route, and in some places, directly into a hard headwind. Noaa says up to 16 hours today, and I'd say that's gotta be accurate. Wind in these parts is the equivalent of hill or mountain riding. Methinks I'll be hurting later. -
tumble on
I heard about tumble logs or tumblogs or whatever you call them on MacBreak Weekly and again on TWiT, so I signed up for a free one at Tumblr. Very cool.
