Robert Scoble linked to a post by Ted Leung detailing his thoughts on the NetNewsWire 2.0 public beta.

Thanks to Kitta at kitta.net (whose blog I discovered today, by way of Matt Mullenweg), I've found an implementation of nicetitles that works with OmniWeb 5 (and thus Safari)!
It's gray and standard right now, but I might play around with the colours and background a bit if I feel creative. 
Kitta also provided a link to Dunstan's Easy CSS Drop Shadows, which I plan on using.
(I found the links on her Colophon page, for anyone who's interested.)
EDIT: If you try and download the files for the CSS Drop Shadows (located at http://download.1976design.com/dropshadows/), it downloads a file called "index.html" (at least in OmniWeb). I figured out that it's actually a ZIP file, so just rename it and add a .zip extension.
Justin Williams has posted a more extensive review of MarsEdit…
A public beta of NetNewsWire was released today.. along with a new weblog editor from Ranchero, MarsEdit. The information is here.
While I haven't tried out the beta of NetNewsWire 2.0 (I'll probably stick with NewsFire), I did download MarsEdit, and am really liking it. It's easy to use, works great with WordPress and does the job without getting in the way!

I was wondering why I hadn't seen any new posts on the almost daily grind… now I know why.
(Old, I know…) Russell Beattie mentions 1,000 reasons to not re-elect Bush. Well said.
The SMH had an article the other day on how a girl was killed in Melbourne after being struck by a tram. However, the article also blames her death solely on the fact that she was listening to music at the time, and thus did not hear the tram coming:
Christie Arias died because she could not hear the tram bearing down. She was wearing headphones.
Her death is a tragedy in itself, yes, and I don't mean to speak ill of the deceased, but I think it is wrong to say that the reason she is dead is because she was listening to music and was wearing headphones, so therefore couldn't hear the tram coming. Ummm… has anyone ever heard of looking before stepping out onto the road? Whether or not you're listening to music, it's common sense, when you approach an intersection (especially one where there are trams) to look left, then look right, for oncoming traffic. Perhaps because of the fact she was listening to music, she did zone out and not pay attention to her surroundings, but instead of blaming music, why not educate kids a bit more about road safety and crossing the road properly (as well as not J-walking)?
Miguel de Icaza posts his thoughts on Cringely's article…
Jason Kottke wrote a post or two on his thoughts on a web browser that Google may be bringing out, based on the Mozilla codebase. blogzilla also has some info on it.
While I think a browser with the Google brand name would be a golden opportunity to take some of the market share away from Internet Explorer, I wonder what Google will do to the browser to make it better than what's already out there? Will they build their own browser, merely using the Mozilla codebase? Or would it be a re-branding of FireFox? I don't think it's perfect (I personally find OmniWeb the best… mainly because of the site preferences and thumbnail tabs)
A rebranding of Firefox probably wouldn't be sufficient, but I think it could be worthwhile for Google to improve on the Firefox codebase, rather than write the browser essentially from scratch. Firefox already has a heap of features that are very useful, which the developers at Google could improve on.
