the longer I go using my powerbook as my primary (only) desktop machine, the deeper certain things become ingrained in my daily routines. one big example is <a href="http://growl.info/" title="growl homepage">growl</a>. so, in honour of the latest release (0.7) i thought i'd publicly exclaim just how much i like having growl.

for those that haven't tasted this particular kool-aid: growl provides a framework so that applications (on Mac OS X) can create little popups when "things happen". so, some examples are : when the song changes in <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/" title="Apple iTunes">iTunes</a>, new mail arrives, or someone says something in <a href="http://www.apple.com/ichat/">iChat</a> or <a href="http://www.adiumx.com/">Adium</a>.

the interesting thing is that human brains are *really* good at recognizing patterns, and determining (almost instantly) relative importance. so, without really looking up from the code, email or blog entry i'm currently writing, i can stay on top of other things going on - without having to switch applications, etc.
