Text selection shortcuts make editing code (and even prose) much faster. Learning the selection shortcuts in any editor you choose to work in is paramount to saving time and effort. I currently do most of my coding in Sublime Text 3, so I’ve been practicing some of my lesser-used shortcuts. Here’s a basic cheat sheet.

Git fans are often command line nuts. I know I am. But complex git operations can often be tedious, no matter how experienced you are. I fell in love with the Tower git client some time ago, and it makes using Git easy whether you’re an old pro looking for a fast solution for complex operations, or a total newbie with no command line experience. It makes complex merges, chunking and cherry picking, rolling back changes, etc. a breeze. Tower 2 is out today, and it’s a complete re-…

Here’s a trick for Marked 2 that allows you to keep a custom export format updated every time you save your file and update the Marked preview. I designed it specifically for updating a Lyx file, but you can use it with any secondary processor that doesn’t necessarily output HTML.

Marked, my Markdown previewer and writing tool, is now available on the Mac App Store. Both the direct version and the MAS version will be discounted to $9.99 for the first week as an “upgrade” price for anyone using the Marked 1 Mac App Store version.

It’s my 36th birthday today. It sounds cliché, but I can honestly say I never expected to live this long. For the first 24 years of my life, I believed my life expectancy was 24. For a few years after that it felt like I was living on borrowed time. These days I accept that I’m making better choices and look forward to living to a respectable old age, if everything goes well. I’m grateful for every. single. day.

Overtired Episode 5 just came out today, too. It was a rip-roaring-ride of a conversation with Christina, ranging from movie stars to Bigfoot to the Mac App Store. I’m enjoying doing this podcast and hope that it strikes a chord with a wide audience. Thanks for listening, everybody! Check out the Overtired #5 at 5by5! You may also want to follow @ovrtrd on Twitter as we start to kick that into gear.

I recently reviewed Polymo, a new iPhone camera app, for The Unofficial Apple Weblog. It handily lets you tag photos before you start shooting, making organizing your camera roll easier than ever.
