Using BetterTouchTool and Keyboard Maestro to Make the Touch Bar Much More Useful  (512pixels.net)

Love it or hate it, it seems that the Touch Bar is here to stay on the MacBook Pro. As such, it seems wise to me to make it more useful.
A little backstory first, though… earlier this year, David Sparks finally talked me into buying a Stream Deck to use at my desk. As with most things, he was righ…

Een collega kocht een streamdeck omdat we meer en meer met audio en video doen. Logisch dus om zo’n gadget te kopen 🙂 Het bracht mij weer op het pad om de Touchbar van mijn Mac productiever te gebruiken. Ik heb veel repeterende acties die al enigszins zijn geautomatiseerd, maar altijd nog beter kunnen. De…

Memento Mori door Stephen HayStephen Hay (the-haystack.com)

Memento Mori. Remember you must die.

I wonder why I’m writing this. If I should write it. If I should publish it. But I will. And if you’re reading this, I have. Because I don’t think I’m the only one who has felt like this. I’m not the only one who can feel down on themselves at times, unable to explain…
