OmmWriter is a new full screen and distraction free writing environment for the Mac. The best way I can describe it is that it is what would happen to WriteRoom if Brian Eno got a hold of it. It features a resizable input area, text size and style options, background options, and ambient music and keyboard sounds (which can, thankfully, be turned off). It can save either in it’s native format for easy relaunching or as plain text.
It is still in beta so there may be even more features coming. It’s worth a look for sure. I could easily see it being part of a perfect “writing mac” setup – just leave it up and running and set the default save location for your Dropbox or a server. Make sure to click through and watch the video on the site to get a better sense of how it works.
GUESTBREAKER: You Don’t Like Watching Degrassi
Hey you! Come sit down, I was just about to see what’s on TV. Oh look! Degrassi’s on! Oh my god, it’s a marathon. Awesome. Wait, why are you getting up? Where are you going? What do you mean you don’t like Degrassi?! Do you also dislike free samples and Mexican beer?! Yeah, I get that we were both in high school a long time ago. So what? Well, of course the writing and acting are awful! I don’t think you get it. It would be really hard to laugh at how ridiculous the plots and characters are if I actually identified with them. Look, instead of arguing with me, why don’t you just leave? The episode where Spinner gets shot is on and I want to watch it in peace.
A stone cold serious Guest Dealbreaker written by Erika.
With this dock cube thing (it changes colors!) my boyfriend gave me for my birthday I can pretend I have a tv. A very very very small tv.
