blogging software recommendation?

hey, I'm looking for blogging software. any suggestions? these are my specs:

1) mac-user. i use TextMate & Quicksilver & the command line and wouldn't mind it being compatible/take advantage of both/all.

2) would rather "compile" the blog locally and upload it (via rsync) than install stuff on my webhost (b/c i've never done that before and it seems like a headache. is this too much of a constraint?)

thx.

p.s. i used to use iBlog. never again!

TOPICS: Mac OS X

You might like Lame Blog....

You might like Lame Blog. I haven't used it, so I can't say how it is. I don't like the compile-and-upload model because you have to rely on third party providers for comments and so forth.

If you relax the second restriction, but still want to blog with a text editor and plain text, you might like PyBlosxom or another Blosxom derivative.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
