Goodbye hairy and amen
hair to be chopped and burned at six. Ski season's over, it's time to stop looking like a ski bum and time to start looking like a corporate shill. An edgy corporate shill.

the selected salon is right next to my favorite bar. nothing calms the roots like a good bottle of Harps.

Ugh. Loud music from neighboring office. It's time to step out. One thing must be done, one thing might:

Put down deposit for hypr-lush apartment
Cut + dye hair

Shared Outlines
Shared Outlines, new tool for Radio. Cool. This is something I've been looking for. Now to start convincing the others here to sign on.

Services
A cool feature of Mac OS X from the NeXTStep days (this feature showed up in NeXTStep 2.0) is Services. An installed application can expose services other apps can use. In Mac OS X 10.0.x, this was only available for Cocoa apps to use. Now, Carbon apps can use them. However, Radio 8 is the only Carbon application I've seen make use of them.

Why is this cool? OmniDictionary, a Mac OS X client for dictionary servers, exposes a Define in Dictionary service. It's proven to be very handy when writing in my instant outline to check on not only the spelling but the meaning of a word. And, since it's a Service, I can use it from OmniWeb too - for checking words I'm writing as well as words I'm reading. Too bad I don't have this feature when reading The Economist (print edition) sometimes.
