Blog this!

The new google toolbar for IE (link) contains 2 interesting features:

- The ability to "blog this" using blogger (whom they recently bought).
- Popup suppression

I might have to incorporate the 2 into my google toolbar, which I hope to release soon.

BlogThis as a toolbar button probably isn't worth the trouble - it's just a bookmarklet, after all. It's really only significant in the Googlebar as a very nice bit of marketing for Blogger. Now, BlogThis in a context-menu, so that you just highlight what you want to quote, and right-click in place, that's a different matter.

Though in the interests of disclosure I should probably admit that I've been maintaining the existence of IE right-click BlogThis for more than a year, after Blogger gave up on it, and just wrote my first trivial Moz extension to add it for good browsers, too.

So far in these articles, I have only dipped a toe or two into Aqua's pool. I have covered basic aspects of building an Aqua-compliant application, including the building of photo-illustrative/3D application icons. Now it's time to address other components of our Mac OS X application.

Not quite as entertaining as Shrek, but Dock animation can be an important and useful function in your application. For example, Dock animation is a helpful way to indicate the status of your application.

You Must Promise. To call your mother, to help old ladies cross the road, and to turn your cell phone off at the movies.
