A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 138. This is an episode I’ve been thinking about for a while. Markdown is a powerful and simple text based markup that lets you create simple and portable documents that can be easily parsed into many different formats. My friend David Sparks (Mac Power Users) helped push me over the edge to get Markdown into my workflow so I invited him on to chat about this really great writing tool.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 137. A lot of focus and attention has been taken up criticizing Apple and iOS 6 over the Maps App. While there certainly are some problems, even Apple has admitted that, I think the whole thing is a bit much and though I should explain why.
