Definition of "Sonder"

sonder — n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

The best Mac app for editing Markdown releases 2.0

I've long been a fan of the 1.x version of MultiMarkdown Composer, and at $5 for the newly released 2.0 version it's difficult to beat. The feature that makes this the best is the Table of Contents view that gets auto-generated from your headings (<h1> to <h6>). It helps so much when navigating long documents. Version 2.0 of this app allows one to rearrange sections of your document! Check out the link to see all the features. PS The app developer is the author of MultiMarkdown itself!

My Thai Sunset Photo got Featured!

Photo: Wow! One of my photos I took of a sunset in Koh Lipe, Thailand was surprisingly featured in Stuck on Earth, an iPad photo app made by my photography hero @TreyRatcliff! I was browsing the the featured photos section, and came across a photo where I thought “Wow, I took a shot just like that!”, and then my eyes drifted down to the photographers name to elatedly discover that is was me! I’m honored and amazed :)
