9. Quotebook to HTML

   I am a voracious hoarder of quotations. As I read, I tend to jot them down in my Field Notes notebook and then (usually) type them into Quotebook. It's a well designed and convenient app for collecting such things.

   But sometimes I don't want to view my quotes ...

10. > The Mix Tape

    Aaron Mahnke:

    That’s the beauty of the mix tape: it required you to sort and rank and chose. Songs that you enjoyed and loved did not make the cut in favor of songs you loved more.

    Before I even became a father I knew that my children would never ...

11. Today I Learned

    Patrick Rhone has this thing where he learns something new every day. I like the idea so I've decided to steal it and write what I discover in my logbook¹. The question, of course, is where to find something new every day. Patrick lists some ideas and they ...

12. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

    There used to be a house next door. It was the most attractive house on our street: a stately Colonial fronted by a long wrap around driveway on a big lot littered with old trees. I always thought of it as the centerpiece of our neighborhood, steeped in a long ...

13. An Imagined Conversation Between Apple and a Developer

    Apple: Hey, we've got this incredible iCloud thing. Everyone should use it.

    Developer: Great! I'd love to use it!

    A: Sounds good. Oh, by the way you have to distribute your app through the App Store to use iCloud.

    D: No problem. Here you go.

    A: Hmmm. You ...

14. > Iain Broome Reads from A is for Angelica

    I've long been a fan of Iain Broome. For one, he's got a cool name¹. His blog has been in my RSS reader for years and I'm a regular listener of his podcast.

    When his debut novel A is for Angelica was available for pre-order, I ...

15. > High Resolution Mandelbrot in Obfuscated Python

    This is crazy. Compact Python code to render the Mandelbrot set that itself is shaped like the Mandelbrot set. I have no idea how it works, but it's really freaking cool. I changed the resolution to 7200x4800 and let it run overnight.

16. Yojimbo to Pinboard

    Back in August, Shawn Blanc wrote about his desire to automate moving all of his bookmarks from Yojimbo to Pinboard. I hacked together some Python and AppleScript that mostly accomplished it for him. But it was just that: a hack.

    Apparently someone else took and interest in it as well ...

17. Quick Hit - Books I Like

    I own a lot of books. I've even read a bunch of them. Here are a few of my favorites¹:

    The Illuminatus! Trilogy - by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. A sexy nonlinear romp with anarchists and Discordians. Read this tome and you probably won't look at ...

18. > The Problem with iOS

    I'm apparently having a Michael Schechter love-fest this week:

    I know I'm a power user, I get that most people don't care about these kinds of things and that this clearly isn't affecting sales, but it's disappointing that Apple seems determined to limit other applications ...
