Ommwriter is quickly becoming my favorite word processor on the Mac
I write quite a lot every day and being able to handle constant distractions is part of my job description. But sometimes, it’s just nice to be able to focus on your text without having anything else come in your way.

Infostate of Africa
From Appfrica: “People often only see Africa from one perspective, here’s another. The above infographic details some of the happenings over the past few years in regards to infrastructure improvement and capacity building in Africa, paritcularly in the area of the internet and cost. The sources are various reports from the International Monetary Fund, InternetWorldStats, the Millennium Development Goals, research papers, various websites, executive market research and more; compiling some fascinating facts about the continent’s ‘infostate’ (trends in information technology and communication).
Although the text is hard to read in it’s reduced size, you can download high-res image from Flickr.”
