You Need To Update Your iOS Keyboards — It’s starting to look as if hand-coding blogs and web pages is a thing of the past. HTML is out, and Markdown is in. It’s a lot faster and, therefore, more efficient to write in Markdown, which can then be output to HTML. …

You Obviously Don’t Want Me Anymore — It’s been a couple of weeks since I last wrote anything on Medium, so you can imagine my surprise — and shock — when I read Shannon Ashley’s article that Medium no longer supports writing or editing on cell phones or tablets.

I Used To Be, But Not Anymore. — I was excited when I bought my Apple Watch.
