Web Excursions for October 11, 2013
- Introducing Paperback
- Paperback, the elegant Pinboard “read later” service is live. I mentioned it in beta, and I think it’s a great tool. Sign up for $15/year.
- AppleScript XML-RPC
- Via MacStories, Daniel Jalkut notes that AppleScript has long supported XML-RPC and SOAP functionality for interacting with blogging platforms and other services on the web. Pretty awesome, especially for people running WordPress blogs.
- Brew Methods
- For the coffee fiddlers out there: recipes for Aeropress, Chemex, Pour-over and more.
- 50 writing errors that make you look like an amateur
- A handy list for better writing. Also see the followup: 25 more writing errors.
- Safari on iOS 7 and HTML5: problems, changes and new APIs
- Interesting mix of good and bad changes in Safari on iOS 7. I’m concerned about the number of regressions.
