Clear for iPhone:

Clear is designed to help you manage your life without adding clutter. It’s a beautifully-designed, gesturally-driven app that we’ve created to improve on a pencil and notepad for flexibly keeping quick, simple todo lists.

I don’t need another todo app, I don’t need another todo app, I don’t need another todo app, I don’t need another todo app…

Coming soon.

(Beta) Markdown Text Chrome Extensions →

Just finished polishing the Chrome extensions of my Markdown bookmarklets.

If you use Chrome and Markdown, please give them a try and let me know what you think.

Depending on the feedback —and them not blowing up a nuclear power plant— I’ll probably upload them to the Chrome Web Store next week.

Embark – Mass Transit Made Simple →

We make free, fast, and simple mobile apps for mass transit riders worldwide.

Most of the metro apps I used on the trip were crap. These ones from Embark make me want to take a subway somewhere.

Stephen Hackett:

In this new world, we are not the weird hippies holding on to our obscure computers and even more obscure software titles. Talking about iPad apps in line at Starbucks isn’t weird anymore.

I knew this was going to happen. At least I hoped it did. Not so much the Apple angle, as the geek part.

Two things can happen at this moment, you can grab your smartphone again and check for more non-existing messages, or step forward and… dance.

We can all dance. At least our bodies can. Our brain, doesn’t always agree.

If this wasn’t the case, then 47% of the population¹ wouldn’t prefer jumping out of an airplane rather than stepping in front a group of people to… dance.

Here’s a secret, the trick about dancing is that you have to smile. Period. Forget about counting 1-2-3’s, following the music or even stepping on people. If you smile, you’re half-way there.

Who do I think I am to make this statement? No one. However, I smile a lot, drink a bit, and when you put these together, I… dance.

Not very well, mind you. I also sweat like a pig, which is both disgusting and hazardous when dancing. BUT, it’s still fun. At least a lot more than checking your fake messages.

Sadly, I can’t guarantee the same about the poor soul on the receiving end of my sweaty schizophrenic fit. BUT, guess what? they almost² always stay. And if you smile, they smile.

Because jumping around to music is always better than checking your fake messages, regardless if you’re a boy or a girl.

And if someone says you’re doing it wrong, ask them to show you how to do it right. Don’t pay too much attention, trust me, I’ve done it wrong in many places, and it’s always jumping around. But never forget to smile.

Now take the step forward and jump around like an idiot, or as some people call it… dance.

Don’t Say Oh Well, Grouplove.

Some songs are just made to be on a movie trailer. The whole album is very good.
