Your Google queries inspire me.

Man, do you guys have ideas. There are some very interesting and less interesting ideas in the many Google search phrases that lead to this blog. We can dismiss the idea that Mac users aren’t so ‘into’ securing their computer; it’s an extensive list of people hacking away at various services and other tweaks that find themselves here. There are some people that get here by typing ‘boobs’ into Google (er? who are you people?), and there are various people looking for nice blog designs or ‘beautiful typography’.

What’s always more interesting, though, are the top queries. And there are only a few. One; iSight app. I made it quite high in that ranking. Then, the second, most interesting one; a black Xcode interface.

Black? Yes, you read that right. An Xcode with white text on a black background. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been coding white-on-black since day 1 (that, or a bit more forgiving color like red, orange, or blue on black). Check out my favorite TextMate theme, I mean, it speaks for itself. And I often prefer TextMating my code instead of using Xcode (something I hope sees an intense battle when Xcode 3.0 and Textmate 2.0 come out in… what is it now, October?).

Hey, let’s make some mockups. Although I think it will be next to impossible to attain, it would be nice to see if we can at least ’skin’ a small part of Xcode. I’ll go and see what I can do. In the mean time, keep Googling. Praetorian update, right here, today or tomorrow. And perhaps, I will abide by the weekly rule of typographic wednesday tomorrow as well.
