Applescript to Clear Notifications in Tahoe

Joe Kissell, in an email today announcing Glen Fleishman's new book, Take Control of Focus: Glenn Fleishman is back with a brand-new book that helps Apple users manage notifications and the many varieties of audible, visual, and tactile alerts across their devices. Take Control of Focus shows you how to use Apple’s Focus feature to impose order on the many beeps, buzzes, and “Pay Attention to Me Now!” doohickeys we encounter…

Drums!

I make grilled chicken drumsticks all the time. It’s just a couple of hours over indirect heat (charcoal of course), and some sauce in the last 30 minutes or so. Nearly effortless. I threw a couple of turkey drums in the mix last night, and they were a treat. I had one with my salad today for lunch.

In Defense of Farting Around

Laze.net: Is that judgement we make of ourselves really real? Can we stop being performative to ourselves like we often are for others? Should we stop giving a fuck about what we think of us, too? On the Guilt of Quiet Days

Witch: App Switcher and Tab Switcher for macOS

I’ve tried a thousand utilities for tab switching; I generally use Safari as my primary browser, but I have always liked the tab search feature in Chromium-based browsers. Witch by Many Tricks handles tab search and switching, but it required a little setup before I could use it the way I wanted. Here are my settings: Invoking Witch (I used command-shift-k) opens the Witch window, and I can immediately start typing to…

Sunday Serial: Inkwell, Tab Finder 2, and Kagi Bangs + Launchbar

Aaron’s been home for spring break this past week, but he’s headed back to Rutgers later today. Since Rhonda and I have been working, we didn’t do much save for a few meals out. Aaron met me Thursday for phô near work, and last night we tried Carmella’s Cucina in Mays Landing. It’s a new Italian BYOB. I’ll probably write it up for Yelp; our dinners were excellent.

Sunday Serial: Bellview Winery’s Fioré Rosé, Phase Wallpaper, and Typinator 10

Rhonda and I took off on Friday and drove up to New Brunswick to pick up Aaron; he is on spring break this week. We made a day of it, hitting Stokelan Estates Winery for lunch and a bottle of rosé. We tried the caramelized onion flatbread and the charcuterie board, and took a bottle of rosé to go. He surprised us with a really short haircut that his friends gave him.

Run Your Bulls

The most recent version of Arthur Brooks’ Office Hours_discusses running the bulls… _your bulls, specifically, ie, living a better life by taking measured risks. As an example of a study that investigated risk-taking behavior, Brooks’ mentioned skydiving and white water rafting as examples. It reminded me of the time I went white water rafting in college with my former roommate. He had been a guide on the Lehigh River in PA, and the guides were going on…

Never Outshine the Master

Nick Miroff, writing for the Atlantic: But it wasn’t the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis earlier this year that finally cost Noem her job today, making her the first ousted Cabinet secretary of Trump’s second term. Instead, it was her self-promotion. Robert Greene, in The 48 Laws of Power: “Always make those above you feel comfortably superior.

Sunday Serial: Interact Scratchpad, Apple: The First 50 Years by David Pogue, and Inkwell RSS Reader

We’re in the first day of Daylight Savings Time, the switch to which is always perilous for my sleep hygiene. I do prefer DST to Standard Time, though, so it will be a welcome change once my body adjusts. Rhonda and I have to pick up the groceries at 2 pm, and then it will be spritzes and cheese before dinner; we hit Rocco’s last night for dinner, and the prime rib was…

OtterBox iPhone 16 Pro Max Symmetry Series Cactus Leather Case

Me, writing about the Beats Case I used for my iPhone 16 Pro Max: As you can see, the case can take a beating. But unlike a nice leather case, which will only be more charming with a blemish, the Beats case looks like ass after a few falls. I’m going to try magic padding the blemishes to see if the shit-brown discolorations will come off.
