    After reading Viticci's tome on Pythonista last week, I finally decided to sit down and play around with the app a little bit. My first project was a relatively simple one: open a web browser with all of my Pinboard links that were marked as read later.

    import os ...

11. Quick Hit - 4 Apps You Should Use But Probably Don't

    Some nerdy application recommendations for you this week.

    Prompt is an iOS ssh client written by Panic. It's simple, functional and beautiful.

    FastScripts is like the Apple-provided scripts menu bar item, but so much better. For one thing, it allows you to run things other than AppleScripts. You can ...

12. Some Thoughts on the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini

    The beauty of not being a popular tech pundit is that I feel no obligation to write about the new Apple hotness in a timely manner. But it's not fair to keep all 3 of my readers in suspense, so without further ado here are my very brief thoughts ...

    formd is a tool for (for)matting (M)ark(d)own that allows rapid conversion between the two styles of Markdown links and images -- inline and referenced.

15. Who Should I Follow?

    I have a problem with app.net. It's the same problem I had with Twitter in the early days. Who am I not following that I should be? In my head, the solution was a simple algorithm:

    A year ago Steve Jobs died.

17. OS X Clipboard Editor

    Have you ever wanted to copy something to the clipboard and make a small change before pasting it? Well here's a quickie AppleScript for your (American) Labor Day that will let you do that:

18. Obligatory Meta Post

    By way of an introductory post, I thought I'd go a little bit into how I'm running this site. The major parts are Pelican and GitHub.
