The Best Mac Git Gui

Git is one of the most powerful and effective revision control systems available. It’s lightweight and highly configurable, complimenting almost anyone’s programming workflow. Predominately you interact with git from the command line, inputting commands such as `git status` or `git commit` to manipulate your repository.

When you first learn git the CLI can be daunting and confusing. Browsing through your history of commits with `git log` is not efficient. Even after you learn a few tricks such as `git log –graph –oneline –all` it remains difficult to really explore your history.

This is why a git GUI can put the joy back into using git.

Top 10 Albums Of 2010

What a year for music. Seriously, this year has been just a whopper for music, something that I could not have even tried to predict. When 2010 was just peaking it’s head around the corner I was honestly a little bummed. I looked at the music that had come out in 2009 and was glum, believing it would be impossible for 2010 to come in any way close to the music of 2009.

Boy, was I wrong.

Actually let’s take that ‘boy’ exclamation up a notch.

Man, was I wrong. And in so many ways that I still don’t understand…

So I’ve looked at all the music I’ve listened to in 2010 and have humbly selected my Top 10 Albums along with the Stand Out Track from that album.

You probably won’t agree with any of my choices past my number 1 pick, but that’s okay. I’m the one doing the writing and you’re the one doing the reading. Unless you add a comment refuting my opinion. But you wouldn’t do that, would you?

Read on for my Top 10 Albums of 2010! Continue reading

Vital Information for Western Civilization

For a little while I’ve been curating and saving a list of thoughts and ideas that I felt were important enough to remember. This list most definitely has pieces of information that you already know, however I felt it was important to have them set down and saved.

I actually mediated on what to name this list for a good two weeks: while driving around I would think on what would make for a good title. I went through many variations and revisions until finally settling on one name, ultimately deciding to call this list Vital Information for Western Civilization.

I hope to update this list and improve upon this first draft. If you have any comments or additions you think should be added please let me know. Until then, enjoy reading:

The Best…and…The Worst List of All Time

A fad?  A tendency?  An inclination?  A meme?  I’m honestly not sure what to call it, but I am saying the phrases “The Best!” and “The Worst!” a whole lot more than I used to.

Last night I ate some Famous Amos Cookies.  What’d I say after my third cookie?  ”These are the best!”

Two days ago it was very cold and windy.  What did I say when I went outside?  ”This weather is the worst!”

Like most phrases I’m sure I will eventually stop using them.  However until that time comes I’m going to start collecting examples of things that are “The Best!” and things that are “The Worst!”.

You can help!  If you have any ideas and examples of Best things and Worst things let me know in the comments!  Together we’ll make “The Best…and…The Worst List of All Time!”
