Martin Kopischke has taken my little Markdown to Evernote Service and made it whole. I dropped the project pretty quickly as I stopped using Evernote as my primary storage for text notes, and I left i

I can't prove that anybody is happier, really, and attraction is entirely subjective. For all I know they were run off by the "invalid header" error^invalidheader and never even tried it out, but Mark

It may come as a surprise to some (many), but I've never really made effective use of TextExpander on my iPad or iPhone (TextExpander touch). I don't do a lot of the things on my iPad which I do on my

Be sure to check out version 2, with iOS support (iPhone/iPad)!
Here's my stupid trick of the day: a Markdown teleprompter called PromptDown (I see what you did there...). The idea was to create a

Amidst trying to get ready to launch a major website and playing with my own personal projects, I realized three things today. How important they are is debatable, and their usefulness depends entirel

I've just started using MarsEdit^MarsEdit again (in combination with my TextMate^TextMate blogging bundles), but I've run into a couple of issues. First, I can't assign thumbnails to my posts directly
