I just discovered that my computer screen has a really cool touch-sensitive line-highlighting feature. Yes, simply run your finger along the line you want, and the collected dust on the screen will go away, leaving a highlighted area twice as bright as normal.

Ben and Mena Trott, the couple that brought us MovableType are celebrating their third anniversary. Mena's even posted some love letters from when they were 18. Happy Anniversary! (The footer on Mena's blog is really cool: My life is Powered by Movable Type
