Hold on Cowboy

This blog post is pretty old. Be careful with the information you find in here. It's likely dead, dying, or wildly inaccurate.

If you publish content on the web, get ready, a shift started a while back, but now gaining momentum. I first encountered Markdown a few years ago and had a fancy for it, but never took the time to learn it. I didn’t really have a use for it. Now that I’ve had to use it on StackOverflow, GitHub, and other great sites, I’m convinced it’s time to learn it.

There is another impetus pushing me, Markdown may become a standard. So from now, I’m going to be upping the ante and blogging in Markdown.
