Tip: Pop-up Dictionary/Thesaurus in OS X
Press and hold the Command + Control + D keys and move your cursor over any word (”Mother” below)
in almost any cocoa application including Mail, Safari (shown below), iChat, and many more, and
the handy little Dictionary/Thesaurus pop-up, (it’s built into Mac OS X) appears:

(Note: Don’t do it over the word “mother” if you’re easily offended or have kids nearby.
As you can see, I had to blur the second definition for your protection. Just trust me
on this and don’t even think about trying it.)

Bob, came to your Pi talk last Saturday and wanted to thank you for the deliciouslibrary app recommendation. This is a great app (and like most I’m already suggesting additional features) - the webcam barcode reader (hear “click”) to add new items is way cool. Thanks again for coming to the Pi!
