I’m happy to announce that the BrettTerpstra.com t-shirt campaign hit its goal on the first day. Thanks to everybody who helped make that possible!

When SliceReader first appeared, I was instantly intrigued. It’s a simple app which “slices” an article, pasted text or text file into pages and display them, one paragraph per page. It’s designed to make reading long form articles easier for those of us who don’t do as well with reading long pages. It works.

The Markdown Service Tools include a Service called “Auto-link web search” which takes selected text, runs a web search on it and creates a Markdown link to the first match for you. The Service recently broke due to changes in DuckDuckGo’s responses.

My first publicly-available t-shirt for BrettTerpstra.com is up on TeeSpring now . It’s a limited run and only available for the next two weeks. You should buy one.

Note: I’ll post pictures (and possibly video) of this whole setup once I’ve decided on the final position of the desk and gotten the cable situation tidied up.

It was great to have John Gruber join Systematic for today’s episode. We talked Vesper, of course, but also got into the origins of Markdown, editing excess verbosity and some great picks for the home.

We celebrate our 4th of July a little early in Winona, MN. I think it’s because we don’t like to compete with the larger city of La Crosse, WI down the river a ways.

I was interviewed by Thomas Borowski for Think, Make, Sell episode 7. It’s about what I do during the day, what I make during the night and how I tick. To some extent. It’s hard to explain all the latter, especially since I hardly have a grasp on it myself.

I had the pleasure of chatting with TJ Luoma this week on Systematic. We’ve known each other for quite some time now, but this is the first time we’ve ever spoken. It was a lot of fun.

This is a quick update to Sidecar (2.1) that re-enables dragging so you can get it moved over to a second monitor. Unfortunately I can’t set a default point on a secondary monitor, so you’ll most likely have to reposition it on every launch. It’s a start, though. I’ll work to come up with a solution for that.

I had the great pleasure of talking with my wife, Aditi Terpstra, on this week’s Systematic. We talked about animal behavior, dogs and other stuff that she knows like nobody else.
