I just want to point out that the current Bundle Hunt bundle is awesome. I own (and love) every app included and have half of the books, icons and themes or I’d buy it myself right now. If you’re missing more than $50 worth of the bundled items, it’s worth it. You can always gift redundant licenses to friends in need.

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about my current Mac-based setup, have a look at my “Sweet Mac Setup”, part of Shawn Blanc’s series of the same name.

I don’t screencast a lot, but I do it enough to have a set pattern for preparing to record. I automated the process a few months ago and figured I’d share it.

I’ve been waiting to write about Found since the last WWDC. I got a preview then, and a few months later got a beta copy. It’s pretty amazing.

I’ve been testing an app called Trickster for a bit now, and it’s publicly available today (just in time to be included in the impressive Productive Macs bundle). It’s a revamp of Apparent Software’s predecessor app, Blast.

This is a quick mention of an iPhone app that I’ve been trying out and have come to really like. It’s called Slow Feeds, and it’s a special kind of RSS reader. It’s a beautiful interface and syncs with Google Reader, but its primary goal is a unique vision: sort and highlight feeds with lower post volumes so they don’t get lost in the river of news.

I’ve been meaning to write about Textastic for almost a year now. I’m easily distracted by shiny objects, so some things take a while. In the meantime, this app has only gotten better. It’s in the iTextEditors chart, but I think it deserves a special mention. I’ll try to write up a few more of my favorites before another year passes me by.

I did a little hacking on Marked today and thought I’d share the results. I haven’t been able to get an official incremental find working in Webkit; it only wants to work on editable text and forcing the find API yields very unsatisfactory results (as you can see in the current version of Marked by hitting F, searching and then using G to jump to the first result). Out of frustration, I decided to build the damn thing in CSS and JavaScript. It worked.

I joined Myke and Terry again today to discuss a whole bunch of stuff I don’t know nearly as much about as I should. Please take the episode title as sarcastically as possible.
