cut and paste between two macs?

Hello. I use two computers at work...my laptop and a desktop. I like to use both b/c it gives me more screen space and processor power.

The only thing that is annoying is "cut" on one machine and "paste" on the other. Right now I keep an iChat Bonjour going with myself to do this, which kind of works, but it involves several steps:

1) cut on computer 1
2) navigate to iChat
3) paste in iChat
4) navigate to iChat on computer 2
5) select text snippet
6) copy

I would like to reduce those steps. I can imagine that I can make an applescript that works with QuickSilver to automate steps 1-3. Now I can make a qs applescript to automate steps 4-6 then I'll be golden!

Anyone interested in helping figure out how to do this?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
