Just a quick note about updates to my blogging software of choice. MarsEdit 2.1 from Red Sweater software came out today with a host of nice improvements including:

Search Your Drafts and Entries
Now you can quickly filter your posts and drafts by keywords. Just type a word or phrase into the toolbar search field, and MarsEdit will restrict the post listing to only items that contain the text you’ve typed.

Native Tags Support
For supported systems, including Movable Type and WordPress, MarsEdit now offers a field for capsule-style tagging of your posts. It even remembers the tags you’ve typed before, so you’ll be able to reuse them in a jiffy on future posts.

Improved Web Preview
MarsEdit’s built-in preview sports a sleek new default appearance, massively enhanced performance, and fine-tuned usability. Now previews update quickly and without flickering or jumping around as you edit your post.

Save Drafts To Server
A new Post Status popup in the options pane lets you choose between Published and Draft status. Server support for this feature is somewhat hit-or-miss, so be sure to test with something not too embarrassing!

MarsEdit is 29.95 and has a 30 day trial.

On an unusually warm January day, some midday sun….

I got to help out with a Mythbusters shoot on Thursday out at AWCC. They were filming for an upcoming Alaska myths episode to air this spring. The cast and crew were fantastic and great to hang out with. We had a blast. Tory, Kari, and Grant, thanks for the pics! You guys are the best! Come back up to Alaska anytime!
