Scripting News: Scripting News: Hacker News is depressing.
Yesterday someone at Hacker News thought to point to my piece about Marissa Mayer. It was a story I wrote in about 15 minutes. The point was at the end of the piece. As a preamble, I told a couple of stories from my personal experience. I figured it would...

Scripting News: If you're developing web apps, you're nuts if you aren't using Font Awesome. Seriously.
Our users love icons.
I guess most users do, but people who write in outliners need a little more graphic relief because our work is totally text and structure. Adding a bit of graphics is like adding spice to a sauce. And they're fun!
We're lucky beca...

Scripting News: Scripting News: Google is the new MSM.
Last night watching the NBA on TNT, new commercials for the YouTube comedy fest. The production was distinctly not YouTube. It was professional in every way. Nothing amateur about it. Google is now MSM. All that talk about Burning Man is sleight of hand. ...

Scripting News: Scripting News: We need a curator for the Apple river.
I did a house-cleaning on my river server on May 9. At that time some of the rivers stopped updating. Mostly the ones that no longer have tabs in the user interface because either I personally didn't have enough interest in the subject and not many other ...

Scripting News: Scripting News: Should the Community Feed be an RSS feed in addition to being an OPML feed?
This question came up in the Community Feed, which you can read in Fargo, by choosing the Community Feed command from the Docs menu. Or you can read it in the Small Picture Reader if you don't use Fargo. I wrote my answer there, but thought it would be in...

Scripting News: Scripting News: Blogging 2.0.
I wrote a piece in August 2012 which I posted on Medium entitled We Could Make History, in which I proposed that we get together and create a new API to connect authoring tools to publishing environments.
At the time I thought it was a long shot, but wo...

Scripting News: Scripting News: Levy on BigCo innovation.
Levy: "To really think big, you can't be at a big company."
I was amazed that these words came from Steven Levy, former Newsweek tech reporter, and late of Wired. He's spent a career supporting the myth not just that big ideas can come from big companies...

Scripting News: Scripting News: 11th hour for news nets.
Michael Wolff comments on the job ad that Twitter is running, looking for a manager of news.
He suggests existing news execs, and that's probably the kind of person Twitter is looking for for this job.
It's a head-fake. This guy is a figure-head. He or...

I've had Markdown on my to-do list for a few months, and the other day, with a bit of blank space in my worklist, I decided to give it a shot.

My outliner is an authoring tool. I think of it as the hub of a wheel with lots of spokes. At the end of each spoke is a way to communicate.
Some of the spokes lead to private places, for example, the worknotes I share with my programming partner. No on...
