Sunday Serial: Stokelan Estates 2025 Myra, Sweet Amalia Oysters, and Subaru Lane Keep Assist
Turned out to be a beautiful day. We were saving up all of the yard work and other necessary maintenance tasks for today; Rhonda mowed the lawn, I did some weed whacking, changed to oil in Joey’s car (I’m too cheap to go somewhere for an oil change), and in filling up Aaron’s Mini’s tires with air, I broke the rear passenger-side valve stem.
SwitchGlass: Classic Mac OS Application Switcher for macOS
In a previous Sunday Serial, I wrote about Keyboard Maestro’s Application Switcher, and its affinity, in my mind, with the Classic Mac OS’s tear off application switcher. Another utility emblematic of restoring classic functionality to macOS is SwitchGlass from John Siracusa. SwitchGlass looks like the Dock, but unlike the Dock, only shows you apps that are currently running. Depending upon how you use your…

Sunday Serial: MacBook Neo, Helium Browser, and Keyboard Maestro Text Expansions
It’s a chilly Sunday afternoon as I write this. Need I say we’re having spritzes? I’m going to grill chicken thighs pretty soon. We have two episodes of From? to watch later. MacBook Neo Rhonda got the Citrus MacBook Neo; it was delivered on Thursday. I set it up for her but I got to play with it a bit, too.
Sunday Serial: Keyboard Maestro’s Class Mac OS Application Switcher, HeyNote, and PaperTrail–A TaskPaper Client for iOS
What a difference a day can make! It was hot enough for shorts yesterday, and we hit 90 degrees mid-last week. It’s a much more seasonal 45 degrees today, and it’s entirely possible that I can get a few more days of sweater weather this week. Rhonda and I treated ourselves to dinner at the Savoy on Friday night. They had fried squash blossoms on the…
Untitled
The Weber–our second–does duty all year, and only the most severe of weather keeps us from using it. This week featured a couple of staples: a 24-hour dunk in an Asian-influenced marinade, lean protein, and a blast from a lump-fueled fireball. Garlic Soy & Lime Chicken Marinade Vietnamese Grilled Lemongrass Pork Chops (Paywalled, alas)

I made the drums again tonight. Same rub as last time, low and slow on the Weber with lump charcoal.
Sunday Serial: The Bagliani Salami, Wineries, and Togethering
Spring break is just about over! I’ve treated myself to a lot of extra calories over the last ten days, so I have some restricting to do! Ahem. I mentioned Dredge+ last week, and I have been playing the game all week. I just love it. I haven’t felt compelled to play a game this much since Limbo (and Balatro maybe).

Jersey Rosé: Spring Has Sprung
Rhonda and I took flight yesterday to recharge our salami supply at Baglianis, and then rolled up to Medford's Stokelan Estates winery to split a bottle of one of our favorite rosés from the Outer Coastal Plains. We are happy to report that the flatbread crust at Stokelan is much improved. I directed our entourage to White Horse Winery…

Sunday Serial: PCalc, Dredge+ on Apple Arcade, and Living Colour
One of the downsides of having the kids in college is that they don’t really have any time off for Easter. Aaron came home for the weekend with a friend, and we’re scheduled to make the return trip in a couple of hours. Rhonda and I will drive Aaron and a friend back to Rutgers, and then our spring break commences.

Mirth and Memento Mori: The Talk Show “Apple at 50”
It was a blast to listen to this recounting of the early and mid-life struggles of Apple, with, to my mind, a recognizable era: when the Mac of the 90s was an exciting line. As Siracusa pointed out, there were many lines, but there were great machines. My college roommate lusted over the Quadra; I nearly bought an early PowerPC model, but went with a Performa 630 CD and a SCSI drive for additional storage (to my…

Sunday Serial: Just Noticeable Difference, Bass, and Penny Skateboards
I had to nip out yesterday morning to Home Depot to return a case of drop ceiling tiles that we ordered for Aaron’s bedroom (it’s the only room in the house with a drop ceiling). The tiles were delivered after the first order never materialized, and when we finally did get the tiles, they were broken, which I learned yesterday when I opened the case with the intention of replacing some of them.

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.

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.
