Aqua Mozilla In The Works [MacSlash: A daily dose of Macintosh News and Discussion] It looks like there's still a lot of work to be done, but it's good to see this is making progress.

Thanks to Clark Venable I'm now up and running with a fully licensed version of Radio. Clark is the guy who got me to give Radio a second chance, after having very bad experiences with it running under Classic. He was also a big help playing the newbie to Xindice and helping me see how much work we still have to do to make it easy to use.

Even though the road has been rocky I'm happy to be able to participate in the Radio community. Like all software, Radio is flawed, but if you look at it as just software you really miss much of what Radio is about. There's a real community building around it and people like Clark are a shining example of this. Radio is inspirational technology, and Clark is an inspirational person. Thanks to both.

Omni Group releases OmniGraffle 2.0 Beta [MacCentral] OmniGraffle is a very cool piece of software, I've been using it to create the graphics for Learning Xindice and it's done a surprisingly good job. It's not quite Visio but it's pretty powerful on it's own.
