Whoa. I’ve created & modified keyboard shortcuts for apps, but I didn’t realize it worked like this. I know of a few places I can use this already :’)
Thanks, Brent!

MarsEdit tip: shortcuts for weblog menu
In MarsEdit there are two weblogs I post to most often, and I don’t like pulling down the menu item via my mouse to choose the weblog. So, instead, I assigned them keyboard shortcuts: ctrl-1 for ranchero and ctrl-2 for inessential.
Saves a little time, makes me happy.
How I did it
I opened System Preferences, then clicked Keyboard & Mouse. Then clicked the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
I clicked the + button, then chose MarsEdit from the list of apps. I entered ranchero for Menu Title, and gave it ctrl-1 for the Keyboard Shortcut. Then repeated that for inessential, but with ctrl-2 as the shortcut.

Fantastic. I hope this leads to a mobile version of Firefox that supports addons.
Awwwww yeaaaaaah.
Don’t hate. Sofa, bitch! Sofa!
Woot.
Dan Benjamin discovered that the Labs tab is finally available to those domains that couldn’t get access to it. One of my domains had it, another didn’t.
Dan Benjamin – Labs Love At Last:
The Google Labs feature allows users to enable new features and fixes, including great improvements to IMAP functionality, like better folder (aka label) management, auto-expunge control, and more.
The main thing I wanted was the ability to hide the “All Mail” label in my IMAP accounts — now I can :’)
Here’s how it used to look.
And here’s how it looks now.
The main thing I like is that you can collapse sidebars you don’t use. As with most Google updates, it’s pretty non-offensive, and welcome.
Official Google Reader Blog: Square is the new round.:
Google is all about speed, both under the hood as well as in the user experience. So, in order to make Reader act and feel more speedy and responsive, we’ve removed some visual clutter, simplified some features and given everything a bit more breathing room. Out with the old rounded corners, drop shadows and heavily saturated colors — in with a softer palette, faster components and a fresh new look.
blog.iphone-dev.org | The man from DelMonte – He say Yes!:
There’s an app that’ll backup all of your jailbreak apps so that you don’t have to reinstall them all after the update, but I kinda wanna start from scratch. Right now I can think of about 2 apps that I’ll re-install. Well, maybe 3.
Crap. It’s about 6, but it’ll still be easier for me to start from scratch.
Happy JailBreaking!
