Introducing NoteTote for Mac OS X
I’m really glad that I get to tell you about NoteTote today. It’s been my sole focus since late November, and today NoteTote 1.0 is finally out on the Mac App Store.

Tumblr! I am looking for a hilariously bad, MST3K-worthy movie to watch with my friends tonight. 1980s/1990s/2000s are preferred. To give you an idea of what I’m going for, a couple of weeks ago we watched Mac and Me (1988) and loved it. Suggestions?

Speed is addictive, of course, because the natural state of things is that there is no lag time between what we want and getting it.

Ha.

“The simple truth of the matter is that I don’t know what you’ll like. No...”
– Michael Piller in Fade In: From Idea To Final Draft — The Writing of Star Trek: Insurrection. I’m liking it. You get everything from the initial treatment to the notes from people like Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner, with commentary all along the way. The book was never published, but...
