Kevin Noki (another) posted an amazing video on his YouTube channel: Apple’s FlatMac

I can’t say I’ve used a Mac all my computing life, but I’ve lusted for one close to all my computing life.
-
I feel I should have written about Dave Nanian’s SuperDuper! a long time ago. It’s been in my Application folder since 2006.

I love this idea. Build your own Apple Macintosh 128K from Rocky Bergen’s papercraft model.

Over the course of this Summer, Jason Snell at Six Colors announced his project to “[…] construct a list of the 20 most notable Macs in history.”

Apple presented a great movie clip on the greatness of the people behind the Mac.

Name Mangler by Many Tricks is a life saver when you have batches of files to organise and rename, and it’s super fast (and revertible). These actions could all be performed on the command line or via a shell script, but it’s so much faster to launch Name Mangler and get on with whatever you are trying to achieve.

My home server acts essentially as a backup and media server. I run Plex and iiTunes on it. It hosts all our music, films, TV shows and home videos, the original copies of our iCloud Photo libraries, my Lightroom master files and all the content of my Dropbox account (just in case).

Beyond the essential apps I use on a daily basis such as 1Password, Textmate, PasteBot or SuperDuper, etc. there are a few gems that live in my Application folder that I use on an infrequent basis, but which have followed me ever since I discovered them.

I almost never shutdown my MacBook Pro, I always send it to sleep. Faster wake up time, this behaviour makes sense on a laptop. Only, it can take ages for the MacBook to actually go to sleep. Check how long it takes between the moment you close the lip, and the power led start pulsing. Ages.

I’ve used a fair number of Subversion clients for the Mac but have always reverted back to the command line or to TextMate’s build-in svn support. Although most of them did the job, none of them were polished enough to give the user experience I expect from a Mac application until I discovered Versions last August.
