Begin 1.5 for iPhone has been released on the iTunes App Store. Begin is an iPhone app that lets you quickly gather todos and check them off or move them to “tomorrow” with simple gestures.

I had the pleasure of interviewing my buddy Jamie Phelps, a.k.a. jxpx777 on Systematic this week. The conversation covered magic, education, home entertainment and a wide variety of other topics. We even dug into our favorite text editor themes, just in case you’re nerdy enough to care.

This is a script I’m using with GeekTool to output a bar chart of stats for my blog to my desktop. It’s specifically geared toward the data returned by FeedPress, but I’m posting it because it can pretty easily be modified to work with any date-based data set. The concept is actually easy enough to use with any sequential data, and can be modified to output horizontal bars as well.
