Review: TaskPaper

As a long time user of KGTD I became one of the first alpha testers of Omnigroup’s new GTD application OmniFocus. I spent months downloading daily versions and spent hours on the OmniFocus forums. I had eagerly anticipated OmniFocus since the first rumors of OmniGroups collaboration with KGTD author Ethan Schoonover surfaced.

Flogging Molly at the Roxy

Monday night Kayleigh and I headed to Atlanta to see Flogging Molly at The Roxy. Located in the middle of Buckhead, this was my first visit to the theatre turned concert hall, and I was impressed. Parking was convenient, it’s cozy, and the floor slants sharply downward; a big help when you’re girlfriend is 5-3 [...]

Textpattern Vs. WordPress

Joe Trotter recently lamented the state of WordPress blogs:

I have a penchant for knowing – just, well, knowing – when a blog or website is powered by Wordpress. You know? Way too many links in the sidebar or header, usually styled the same way? Info all over the place? A candidly modified Kubrick theme? Referring [...]

He’s the crazy uncle telling you the world is flat and you laugh and nod since getting into a debate would be exhausting and pointless and hell, you don’t even know if he really believes what he’s selling.
Regarding Vista, [...]

Sounds Good In Theory

Mark Pilgrim gives his take on the recent full screen text editing fad:
I guess the part I don’t understand is the target audience. Who is so serious about writing that they need a full-screen editor, but so unserious that they don’t have a favorite editor already?
Even avoiding the obvious answer that almost every welder, pianist, [...]

The Hivelogic Podcast: Apple Phone Anyone?

Dan Benjamin, the author of Hivelogic, has started his own podcast. His first guest was John Gruber of Daring Fireball. For a first attempt it sounded great, especially Dan Benjamin (I wouldn’t be shocked to learn Mr. Benjamin has some experience in public speaking). The topic was the possible iPod phone. As interested as I [...]
