Fantastical Drafts Actions
I absolutely love Fantastical 3 and happily pay the subscription fee. One unfortunate part of its update though was a change to its URL schemes which broke the actions for it I was using in Drafts. So today, I happily crossed off my to-do list updating the actions. The original actions were made by Greg…

Fixing MultiMarkdown QuickLook Preview on macOS 10.15.4
I’ve made great use out of a QuickLook from Fletcher Penny to preview Markdown files (which I use a lot of). Without this, you’re previewing the raw Markdown which is still readable, but usually I find this lending clarity to whatever I’m trying to preview over the plain text.

Using Database Software in Your Band Program
I’ve gotten a lot out of listening to the Class Nerd Podcast and lots of the things that Robby Burns puts out.

2018 Recap: Apps that I didn’t ‘get’ in 2017
2018 has been a bumpy road, and there are a few things I want to write as a recap on the year. After talking about reading the Bible in a year, I wanted to focus on three apps that I’d tried previously or owned but wasn’t making very good use of. Day One I’d picked…

Managing Multiple Drives and Managing My First Year
I’m well into the start of my first year teaching now, and things are crazy. I wanted to first share a tip I’m using to manage some of the work I’m doing on my own computer for work (I have a PC assigned to me by my school, but I’m working a lot outside of…
