PostWarden is a relatively new app that makes managing multiple Tumblr sites, and Tumblr accounts, a breeze, with the added bonus of having a local backup. Because of this, it can be used offline and one can save drafts of their work before posting. It’s nice and simple, executed well, and gives the added comfort of having a local copy of all of this stuff. As someone who manages multiple Tumblr sites and accounts and never met a backup he was not thankful for, this is a welcome and needed addition to my hard drive.
The developer, Gabriel, was kind enough to throw some promo codes my way to give to readers (though the price is more than right in my opinion). Here they are, first come, first serve:

Mail Pilot: Email Reimagined by Josh Milas & Alex Obenauer — Kickstarter →
Email is in need of a fresh start. A redesign from the ground up. With your support, mail pilot will forever change the way that we interact with email.
Considering I am likely to spend the remainder of the evening processing the glut of email in my inbox, this looks really good to me right now.
I also agree that email is ripe for true innovation.

Simplify lets you control iTunes, Rdio and Spotify from the player shown above or via custom keyboard shortcuts.
Looks interesting.

Keeping It Straight available on iBooks
Well, it only took several months but my book, Keeping It Straight, is finally available on the iBooks Store. That means, those of you purists who have been holding out to get it until you could support the beleaguered and cash-strapped Apple (hint: this is a joke) with your hard earned dollars and read it on your iDevice, now’s the time.So, you are probably wondering why it took so long. Well, if you find out please let me know. Hopefully, the next book won’t take nearly as long.

Drumroll, please... Introducing iFixit.org | iFixit.org →
We have been traveling to developing countries in Asia and Africa, visiting e-waste scrapyards and small repair shops, meeting “fixers” who breathe new life into gadgets that the western world has tossed away, and photographing the journey. Part travelogue, part investigative reporting, part soapbox, iFixit.org promises only one thing: a clear-eyed, thoughtful look at global repair culture.
This looks amazing! The beautiful site design alone is worth the visit but the subject matter is essential knowledge about the world we live in. Fascinating stuff.

"I think saying no is far too often misunderstood and misrepresented. I think it automatically puts one on the defensive, as if we must explain our reasons why. While its very definition may be negative, in practice it is often quite positive. I think we need to remove the wholly negative stigma from the idea of saying no. I think we need to return to a definitive support of the positive choice that saying no can bring."
Enough – The Book — I have started to build out the site for my new book which will be available soon. You can go there now to read three essays from it. -
Apple’s Education Event | TightWind →
This isn’t exciting because Apple’s the first company to create worthwhile digital textbooks. That honor goes to Inkling. It’s exciting because Apple’s the only company that is in a position to completely change how we learn, and iBooks certainly has the power to do so. For the first time ever, elementary and high school students will be able to replace twenty pounds of books with a one-and-a-half pound device.
