Adventures (and lies) at @monsterjavaguns.

There's some nice plugins here... definitely a few I've never messed with before. I've tried a few writing-focused plugins, but my base set are vim-markdown, vim-airline, and pencil. I rely on pandoc for converting my typographic characters (quotes, dashes, etc) when I convert to an output file for other people to read.

Oh wow! I've played with most of these, but I can't believe that I'd never come across SwatchBooker before. What a handy little tool! I'll definitely be playing with that more later today.

Also, thanks for the mention of my podcast. :)
