Roughly 1998, cobbled-together PC and Mac Performa While drinking my coffee this morning, I decided to take a look at Flickr.

Day One 2
In my [previous post on using Day One as an Evernote Food replacement](http://www.danielh.photo/blog/2015/10/day-one-as-an-evernote-food-replacement), I mentioned that they were working on letting us add more than one photo to an entry. Day One 2 is the solution, and it’s available now.

I'd have paid full-price for this app. On the iPad, it's a distraction-free, full-screen writing app with minimal bells... Continue Reading →

Final Cut Pro X now available in the Mac App Store
Final Cut Pro X dropped today with a friendly $299 price tag. It's not the full suite that we're used to purchasing, but I actually like the ala-carte method better. Motion 5 and Compressor 4 are also available via the Mac App Store for $49 each. So for $400 you could be on your way... Continue Reading →
Command + Space Bar = My Favorite Mac time saver

Got secrets? Encrypted disk images in OSX can help…
