The Weekly Review

This is lovely. Candy for us with a paper fetish. [via CP]

Here is a great resource for people working on the web who may not be comfortable working with type. Just choose the (web safe) font you like in various settings and the CSS code is right there for your use. [via Rands]

NFL TV distribution maps. Oh man, we need this up here. [via DF]

Even better, give me the ability to buy access by channel. I want NFL network … and that’s it.

By now, most everyone has heard of Google’s new browser, nicknamed Chrome. But if you’ve only read about it on a site like TUAW or something similar, give yourself fifteen minutes and read through the PDF itself.

Not only is it visually appealing in it’s comic book presentation, but it also does a great job of explaining the technical details of the browser in a way that’s easily understood. It’s a wonderful illustration.

Here’s a great Knowledge Base article for resolving permissions issues in OS X. This is great timing for me as I just got the parents switched to an iMac after their Windows machine melted. I had some issues with permissions of the files I copied over from the hard drive on the Windows machine, and specifically had the issue with files in the Trash as described in this article.

Unless you spend a good part of each day in the terminal, you’re probably like me and forget some of these commands. This will be a useful bookmark. [via MacUser]

Yesterday, Google announced details about Android Market, their “user-driven content distribution system”.

Um, does this seem eerily familiar to another service that provides access to purchase applications for your mobile device?

Happened upon an interesting tool today named QuarkBase. The developers describe the application as follows:

Quarkbase is a free tool to find complete information about a website.

It is a mashup of over 30 data sources and many algorithms gathering information from Internet on various topics like social popularity, traffic, associated people, etc.

Enter in the URL of any website and QuarkBase will give you an accurate summary of that site’s details. You can see the results for The Weekly Review here. Almost spot on, excepting that the language is listed as Croatian …

Also nice to see that TWR is so popular in places like the Dominican Republic.

Ever since Firefox became a force in 2005, the browser wars have been going strong. Mac OS X users have several strong options when choosing a favorite browser, with Firefox and Safari leading the way. Hardcore Firefox fans can’t do without their favorite extensions that make the application so much more than a browser. And Safari pundits wax poetic about the smooth OS integration and how other browsers just don’t feel right.

And this week has given us a couple of announcements that will keep the browser wars alive a while longer (maybe we shouldn’t call it a war anymore—how about competition?). Some Safari users announced their decision to switch to Firefox after Mozilla Labs announced Ubiquity, the Quicksilver-like command line tool developed for the Mozilla browser. Quickly on the tail of that news was the announcement that Google Gears was now available in beta for Safari users.

Whatever your flavor, there are a lot of innovating things happening in the browser space.

Apologies to all you haters of list posts, but this list of tips to keep on top of clutter caught my attention. I am a big believer in number one.

Here’s one of the better resources I’ve found for purchasing notebooks. The Daily Planner stocks a good variety of brands including Rhodia, Moleskine and Miquelrius.
