Daniel Jalkut writes about his application, MarsEdit, being reviewed my Macworld. Congratulations, Daniel!

The application earned 4 mice, which for those of you who follow the magazine know, is a pretty great accomplishment. I’m betting that one day I’ll earn all five, but for the time being I’m quite pleased with this achievement.

Today, this changed. I downloaded MarsEdit, mostly because I know and trust Daniel Jalkut and I know that he makes great software.

I'm giving ecto a shot

I have been avoiding an editor like ecto for the longest time, simply because I thought that a general desktop blogging client was not up to the task of being as flexible as the web client which came with the blogging software, but looking through all these options and settings ecto users enjoy, I guess I was wrong on that one.
