Remapping Capslock to Escape in OSX

nobody@vox.com(Alex) — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 21:54:14 -0800

Ok, I'm really lazy. Lazy enough where the fact that I had to move my left pinky up to the Escape key to exit insert mode in VIM bothered me tremendously. So, using the google, I've stumbled across the most amazing application known to man. Namel...

I don't own a rolling pin. I'm baking a pie. These are my options: On the left, we've got a Bogen/Manfrotto tripod extension bar. On the right, we've got a Nitto 44cm heat treated set of road bars. My vote is for the handlebars, I think...
