Context, you all.

Why take life so seriously that it makes your brain hurt, when you can simply crank out genuinely useful software? Turly O’Connor has just taken the wraps off a new version of FinderPop, the indispensible utility that puts your contextual menu on a high-fibre diet washed down with a pint of Beamish. This time out, FinderPop sports a completely rewritten user manual that is filled with “… lavish illustrations and plain words of no more than three or four syllables.” Even if you don’t use the software (it’s free, so you don’t really have any excuse — except if your stuck without a Mac, you poor sods …) I highly recommend reading the manual anyway. It’s insightful, descriptive, self-effacing, and has a lovely dash of cynicism mixed in for no other reason than it seems to fit rather nicely, thank you. I wish that all user manuals were this good a read.
