NLMA 021 Growl

My main brawl with open source applications in the end always boils
down to the same thing. They're ugly and often not very intuitive.
I'm going to get mail about this one, I know... but I'm right! I
just don't see an open source operating system getting the same
level of consistency as OS X for instance. And the advantage of a
consistent OS is that apps that run on that OS naturally inherit
that consistency. But once in a while I'm wrong. And boy am I glad
I'm wrong about this app.

App name: Growl
Developer: Growl Team, led by Chris Forsythe.

This episode is sponsored by the nice people of Plasq. Don't know
who that is? Yes you do... They make the coolest, most
innovative-and-funny-at-the-same-time app out there: Comic Life. Go
and check it out at Plasq.com. It's a super cool comic book
creation app. You might go and say 'why would I make a comic
book?'. Well don't see it as just a comic book creation tool, it's
a new and original way of distributing your pictures, and it's fun
to work with it, but I won't talk about that now... I'll have to
review them one of these days. Thanks for supporting the show you
people.
