Ulysses Is a Powerful but Simple Text Editor for iPad


iPad: Ulysses is one of our favorite writing apps on the Mac and it's now available for the iPad as well. What's better, the iPad version is just as powerful as the Mac app.
Ulysses takes an approach similar to software like Scrivener, but simplifies and cleans things up a bit. If you've used Ulysses for Mac, you'll immediately recognize the iPad version. It has the same a three-pane setup where you can organize your writing into different sections, but features plenty of distraction-free writing modes as well. It also has a button row to easily format text and a handy info bar to see different stats. While you'll do your writing with Markdown, it supports exporting to every file format you can imagine.
Essentially, this is the Mac version on your iPad, and it's just as easy to use. There's no extra fluff here, Ulysses is about writing and the iPad gets you there as quickly as possible. Most importantly though, Ulysses for iPad syncs up with the recently updated Mac app as well. It's a bit pricey at $20, but if you're a fan of the Mac app, it's worth the price to take your writing anywhere.

Here are 9 reasons why I say this: 1. Get a head start When you wake up at 5am, you start your day earlier than 99.9% of the world — hence giving you a head start in your day. This creates a feel-good factor, which, while psychological, creates a host of positive effects (especially for reasons #2 and #3 in the list). After all, a good start is half the battle won. It will motivate you to stay ahead so you can maintain or even widen the lead. For example, my modus operandi when I wake up early is to work on the high-impact tasks right away, as opposed to the small, easy but unimportant tasks. I will also think and work effectively, and strive to end my day earlier so that I can have an early sleep, wake up early the next day, and continue my “head start.” On the whole, I’d say that I’m more forward thinking and proactive in managing my tasks — since I have a head start in my day, I naturally think about how I can be ahead in my work too. On the other hand, when I wake up

NASA unveils seasonal dust storm pattern on Mars Improving the ability to predict large-scale, potentially hazardous dust storms on Mars would have safety benefits for planning robotic and human missions to the planet's surface. NASA's Mars orbiters have unveiled a pattern of large regional dust storms occurring at about the same times each year, an advance that may help predict these hazardous events during future robotic and human missions to the red planet. After decades of research to discern seasonal patterns in Martian dust storms from images showing the dust, but the clearest pattern appears to be captured by measuring the temperature of the red planet's atmosphere. For six recent Martian years, temperature records from NASA Mars orbiters reveal a pattern of three types of large regional dust storms occurring in sequence at about the same times each year during the southern hemisphere spring and summer. Each Martian year lasts about two Ea
