I finally got to hear from a guest who knows their stuff when it comes to the human mind. Howard Buddin joined me on Systematic this week to talk about memory, the brain and, of course, some top picks of the week (which happen to be geared toward the research community).

The latest Systematic is up, and I’m very honored to have David Wain as a guest. His body of work as a writer, director and actor is immense, and he’s been a part of some of my favorite sketch comedy groups from Stella to The State, movies and currently writes for and occasionally appears in Children’s Hospital.

Update: Simplenote has announced that there was an issue on their end this morning, and that it has been corrected. While there are still issues with nvALT’s implementation lagging behind Simplenote’s API (which have been getting more frequent lately), the rampant deletion of notes in nvALT should be over now.

Pixa is an awesome new Mac app for organizing images and graphics. I’m personally using it to index and browse my (rather large) collection of icons and UI elements. It recently became available in the Mac App Store, and Shiny Frog has provided a couple of free promo codes for you. Details at the end of the post!

Josh Helfferich, previously of TUAW and now directing music videos in LA, joined me on Systematic this week to talk about technological advancements in long distance relationships, how much we both dislike Windows and possibly find a wrinkle in time.
