Marked 1.4 is available on the Mac App Store. I’m announcing this a little prematurely; the press release doesn’t go out until tomorrow morning, but I’m just too excited to hold off.

Just in case you missed it, a 2x4 interview I did for lifehack.org went live today. Thanks to Michael Schechter for the opportunity to talk about life, creativity and productivity.

I’ve been trying for years to get a decent Bluetooth “proximity” setup going so that my iPhone can trigger lighting setups as I enter and exit a room. I think I’ve finally nailed it, though I’m sure there’s plenty more testing to do.

My weekend project turns out to be the most popular thing I’ve ever done, at least based on web traffic (besides that one thing that I don’t like to talk about). It’s had more pageviews in two days than my whole blog gets in a typical month, and I haven’t even officially announced the final page outside of Twitter. Insane. Seriously.

I don’t like outliners. It’s not that I see anything wrong with them, they just don’t click with the way my brain works when I’m brainstorming or planning. It’s why I use mind maps. Nonetheless, I had to try Tree (MAS link) when I saw it. It looked different. It was.

There was an impressive response to the call for crowdsourced iOS text editor comparison. The “final” spreadsheet is available here (link updated to point to the new page). I froze it this morning as there were a lot of deletions happening that were breaking results. It was reverted to restore a few major deletions, and I did my best to replace individual additions and edits that happened since the restore point. If your edit/addition was lost or you have more to add, just contact me directly…

This is a quick experiment with Google Docs, CSVs, MultiMarkdown tables and CSS3 selectors. It’s really hackish, but it’s a start. I wanted to take Google Docs spreadsheet output and turn it into a clean table with color coding and my own styling. Here’s what I’ve done so far (example output here):
