My Ink Stained Fingers Episode 6 Show Notes: Brett Terpstra and creating tools for writers

Ever have those fan boy/fan girl moments where you get to talk with someone who you’ve admired for years?

Yeah that was this episode.

I got to talk with none other than Brett Terpstra who:

• Wrote for The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
• Worked at AOL
• Was the developer behind Engadget and TechCrunch
• Created the Markdown fork of Notational Velocity nvAlt
• Created the Markdown processor-Swiss Army knife Marked 2
• Podcaster: Systematic and Overtired (with Christina Warren)
• Creating a new, super version an new Markdown editor nvUltra
• And is now working at Oracle as a developer evangelist
  

We talk about creating writing apps, keyboards, Markdown, and even get a special tip how to take a mind map, preview it in Marked 2, and kick start your writing.

Mind blown.

Oh and I also learned I need to watch my levels better when recording with people. Don’t worry, you’ll understand when you listen.
