Large Type With Quicksilver
I’ve always loved Os X’s large type feature that allowed you to reference text from across the room.
What I’ve always wanted was the simple ability to make ANY text I wanted large like that. I was hoping for a nice item in the contextual menu to let yo do this, but theres nothing. Using Quicksilver, I can get this functionality super easily.
Quicksilver will display ANY text that it finds useless as large type. To take advantage of this, use your phrase. Copy your phrase, invoke Quicksilver, and paste it in. Hit enter and your phrase will appear across your screen. Super simple, super fast, and super productive.
HAHA! Dork! That’s the number to the Apple Store in Richmond. lolol

I have been using this trick but have had no luck, yet, trying to find a way to save the text and invoke it as Large Type when I trigger it.
Any suggestions?
