Gnome-Do: A Launcher Like Quicksilver

Today I found out about a great Gnome application while reading Russell Beattie. The application is called Gnome-Do and it works like the famed OS X launcher called Quicksilver. I have never used a Mac or Quicksilver but what I had seen before seemed like a very useful application.

Gnome-Do works very well as well. It has the default keyboard short cut super (windows key)+spacebar and has a lot of features. Although it is a mono application, it works pretty well and I think it is a keeper.

Below is a video that shows it in action. Check out the Download page for the repositories.

Way Cool video for a government

I saw the below video at Loic Le Meur’s blog and I liked it a lot. It is from the Media Development Authority of Singapure, apparently a government organization.

I think they shot a very creative video which is inline with the purpose of their existence. I can’t imagine any Turkish government department shooting such a promotional video even if they were working on new media. I think this is way cool for a government organization.
