  • HowTube 008: Markdown Cheat Sheet

    In the words of its creator, John Gruber, “Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).”

  • Testing out Markdown

    I’ve known about Markdown for quite some time, but for some reason, I’ve always just stuck with writing up my posts in plain ol’ HTML. Since I’m trying out MarsEdit, and it has preview functionality for Markdown, I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m all for the human-readability of it, and if […]

  • Amazon Upgrade

    I was looking at my Netflix history earlier, and was wondering how my rental frequency was trending. So, in the interest of being complete, I went over my entire history, including my GreenCine subscription (which I have because they carry some rare movies that Netflix doesn’t) and RedBox rentals (which I use every once in […]
