Content like only a bonfire can make one. (Looks like instadibs isn't respected in this family. Game on!)

Finally got to use her Christmas present…

So nice of the Palace to spend all that money on renovations to give the Pistons a good send off. Great time, no joke.

Happy Birthday, America!

My New NEW Favorite WYSIWYG Editor

Coincidentally, a little over a week after I describe my favorite editor to put in web apps, they folks over at Basecamp announce their new editor: Trix.

Without actually integrating it yet, I feel like this is a safe bet on the next great editor for the web. Check it out at:

Gosh that’s a lot of gutted and gashed gourds… Get a gander… Dad jokes? I’m good to go.

Smells vs Swords

My awesome wife and daughter handle the swordplay by stoping to smell the candles.

The amazing thing is I edited this entirely on my phone. What a world we live in. It used to take me an hour to edit down a 60 second clip of Hi8 film!

My New Favorite WYSIWYG Editor

Over the past few years we have seen a huge reversal in the amount of complexity we hand over to our users through our interfaces.  This is such a good thing.  One item that has always remained for me is finding a decent WYSIWYG editor.  There are quite a few good ones of late.

Medium’s editor interface is the gold standard these days.  Unfortunately, we don’t get to recreate that easily unless we have the huge capital investment they do 🙁

TinyMCE and FCKEditor (CKEditor now?) were the most powerful editors for some time.  But they brought complexity.

My new favorite is EpicEditor.  It’s syntax is in markdown which is really nice for the sweetspot of a newbie user vs a power user.  Check it out:
