A great interview, with a slightly unusual format and certainly unusual questions. It will be a joy to read for anybody who is even a little bit enamored with John Gruber after reading his writings on Daring Fireball.
I have to say, “do you hug your wife?” is one of the most surprising questions I’ve ever come across while reading an interview like this.
Wolf has been releasing videos from last year’s C4 Conference, at which I was a speaker. I have been sort of looking forward to and fearing the release of my speech, Application Acquisition, which just went live.
Seeing yourself on video is like the exaggerated version of hearing your own voice on tape. I really sound like that? I really look like that? It’s weird.
But I am pleasantly surprised that the presentation overall does not seem as rambling or overloaded with information as I remembered. I definitely learned some speaking lessons in the process, and I appreciate Wolf giving me the chance to share my thoughts.
If you’re thinking about acquiring software, or you’re just curious about my take on the whole thing, you could find worse ways to spend an hour than watching this video!
MarsEdit 2.1.2 addresses a number of finer points discovered and reported by users after 2.1 was released.
Gus Mueller of Flying Meat has released VoodooPad 3.5, with a bunch of new features and fixes, including built-in support for editing images in an external app such as, oh, Acorn for instance. Man, I’ve gotta figure out how to link my products up better!
If you haven’t tried VoodooPad before, Gus’s one-line description “you put your brain in it” does it justice. It’s a desktop wiki which means it does all the things a web-based wiki would do, and more. And in a quick, not-sucky-like-the-web kind of way.
The possibilities for this innovative app are so great, I hear Gus even writes his blog with it, but I wouldn’t recommend that!
