What st. defines the east division of the western third of SFO?

Would that be Funston AVE, or? And does the fog noticeably decrease once you pass into the middle third, or is it more gradual? I've heard of this elusive "western third" before. Enquiring minds want to know!

Window session saver

I swear I came across a Mac app at some point that promised to save and restore sessions of many windows/applications/documents at a time (on login, or manually), but for some reason I can't seem to muster the Google-foo to rediscover it.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I would be eternally grateful.

Don't Hibernate ! Sleep fast

For all those of you that would like their Intel Mac get fast to sleep ( as I did ) - Hibernate is for you. <br/>

Hibernate is a system preference pane that lets you decide which sleep state you prefer:<br/>

sleep<br/> sleep&hibernate<br/> hibernate<br/>

It's free as I've written it to no longer get into the terminal to change it.<br/>

Have fun - Jolly aka Patrick<br/>

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
