I'm pretty excited that the great Mac OS X diagramming tool OmniGraffle 3.0 is out. I've covered OmniGraffle before (see "Sortof Agile Modeling" for the beefy post), and this new version looks to be even more intense.

One of my favorite things about OmniGraffle is that it's flexible without getting in the way. While Visio may pack enough features to do heavily detailed technical diagrams based on real data, it was never easy to just be able to pick assorted object or other shapes and just begin drawing. OmniGraffle, on the other hand, gives you plenty of default objects to be useful (with plenty more to choose from), but puts no limitations nor expectations on how you use them.

Also in the news lately is Safari Beta 2. I'm very impressed with this version, as the last official beta release (v60) and some of the unofficial ones (v64) were pretty disappointing. But now, Safari is rendering Plone sites correctly, and not having bizarre connection issues to Zope, Roundup, or a slew of other dynamic servers.

Oh, and our playoff tickets for the Jazz came today.
