I was joined by Keith Blount this week for a discussion about coding, writing and how a developer picks features for their app. Keith is the author of Scrivener for Mac and Windows, an app designed by a writer, for writers. If you write and you haven’t tried it, it’s worth every dollar.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to join Generational with Gabe Weatherhead and special guest Rob Trew this week. I’ve long admired Rob’s knack for AppleScript and the genius behind his integrations of various Mac apps. He, Gabe and I all share a common thread in our scripting pursuits, and it was a great chance to talk with both of them about how and why we code.

I had the great pleasure of being joined this week by Ellen Hinton, also known as “Ellen Once Again.” She’s a recording artist with a soulful, upbeat sound and a history of combining technology and traditional music to create some great tracks.

ForkLift is a file manager which — in my opinion — doesn’t get mentioned nearly often enough. It combines the best features of file managers such as Path Finder, Finder extensions like TotalFinder, and FTP apps like YummyFTP and Transmit. It offers blazing fast remote file transfers and management with great tools for local file navigation.

Is the built-in OS X Calendar app not doing the trick for you? BusyCal is a great alternative that won’t make you sacrifice the system integration you’re used to. It adds full support for iCloud, Exchange, Google Calendar and other CalDAV servers. It features advanced alarms which can optionally integrate with Notification Center and be snoozed for any length of time.

Federico Viticci, editor of Macstories, has published his first book on the iBookstore, and the topic is one he’s proven passionate about: Editorial for iPad. The book is an expansion of the already-expansive review he published when Editorial first came out.

Update: Of course, as usual, I did this without checking to see if there was already a PopClip extension for CriticMarkup. I haven’t tried the one that comes with the download, so I can’t say if mine adds anything worthwhile or not. If you have input, let me know.
