The Journey to Markdown: On Day One

“Well, this is going to be interesting.” – Yours truly on learning Markdown The first thoughts I had when I took on this challenge was whether or not I’d be able to find the time to do it…even though I’ve been told it wouldn’t take up all that much time to begin with. I’m working […]

The Journey to Markdown

I tweeted a month ago that I was going to take the leap and try my hand at Markdown, considering that I’ve heard nothing but praise for the language from the likes of: Merlin Mann David Sparks … and its co-creator, John Gruber Some of you know what Markdown is, some don’t. Here’s the Coles

Everything Must Go…Almost

And I thought that my whittling down of apps was pretty drastic. Chris Smith over at Stepcase Lifehack went full declutter on his apps — basically an “app diet” of sorts. Why’d he do it? How’d he do it? It’s all there — along with a bit of a “throwing of the gauntlet” to readers.

The Productivityist OmniFocus Themes

While I’ve never used anything but the stock OmniFocus theme before, my pal CM Smith (who helped me shape the look of this site) was inspired to put together some custom themes on the heels of the news that I’ll be sitting on The OmniFocus Setup panel in late January during MacWorld|iWorld.

Decluttering iStuff: The Series

Like any gadget freak, I tend to get overenthusiastic whenever I buy a new toy. And that quality has been elevated with the arrive of the iPhone and iPad, because buying those devices is really just the beginning. And there really is no ending. In short, I’ve got a lot of apps on both devices.
