Blogging requires time and effort. I have been slacking lately and not writing much, so in order to change that I am going to introduce a new type of post similar to DaringFireball’s linked list. Just a link and a comment. Hopefully this way, I will keep my blog more up to date.

Blogshphere Bashers
A blogger named M.B. Darden wrote an article about his first experience at an Apple Store. The interesting thing is his follow up article where he comments on people’s comments(insults).

MarsEdit Updated to 2.1

-Improved Tagging(more Mac like)
-Better searching(fast even while testing it with 100 blog posts…even though the max recommended is 30)
-Save as draft to server (not a big deal for me since I don’t like the Wordpress back-end anyway).
