10 Reasons to Own (and use) a Cast Iron Skillet

Yup. Add one to your camping gear as well.
Once you get your cast iron skillet, try this recipe first (after you season it, of course): Cast Iron Mac & Cheese.


What’s New in MarsEdit 3

This is one of the few pieces of software I own where I don’t even look at what’s new, I just pay for the upgrade because I know it’s going to be worth it. Mars Edit does one thing, and does it extremely well. Simple, effective.

Support for WordPress Pages

MarsEdit now lets you download, edit, and create Page entries on WordPress blogs. Now you can manage your blog and your permanent site pages from the same comfortable interface.

Support for Custom Fields

For WordPress and other blogs that implement the WordPress API, you can configure custom fields in MarsEdit to customize the post editing interface.

The All-Bacon Burger – of all bacon odysseys, this might be the one I try…

This Week in Browsing (Extended Edition)

I’ve been busy. Haven’t had an interesting links post in a while. Here ya go.

World Cup Preview – Short Edition – Short, funny and fairly accurate summaries of each of the 32 teams.

“While compiling this preview, I forgot about Greece and had to look them up when I realized I was one country short.”

The Lame iPad Camera Connection Kit – I’m still shocked there’s not an iPhoto Lite for the iPad.

More Adobe accessibility screw-ups – why? Seems I ask that a lot about Adobe these days.
