Quicksilver tutorial and screencast roundup

Mac

I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful Quicksilver really is. Nor can I adequately describe exactly what it is. But I will say this – if you own a Mac – download and install Quicksilver right now, then start watching a few of these screencasts and/or read a few of the tutorials.
