Since reading Tiago Forte’s Building a Second Brain where he referenced Obsidian for taking notes, I’ve repeatedly seen it mentioned far more than most other apps. It seems to be a fairly popular hashtag on Mastodon in the note-taking community. I currently use Bear and really don’t have a need to change apps, but this … Continue reading Evaluating Obsidian for note-taking

Curating my Mastodon timeline
What did I use Twitter for? More to kill time rather than anything useful. I realized I had a problem. I followed friends I’d met in real life or online. Many were members of the Apple community in one way or another — Apple administrators, co-workers, developers, folks who worked at Apple. I followed other … Continue reading Curating my Mastodon timeline
From Twitter to Mastodon
When I heard Elon Musk might buy Twitter and that he'd let Donald Trump return, I knew I'd likely leave the platform. The problem wasn't so much Trump coming back but rather how the media was constantly reporting on his outlandish tweets, over-amplifying his rhetoric. I didn't follow Trump on Twitter, but I certainly knew … Continue reading From Twitter to Mastodon
Posting my PSU 2018 MacAdmins Conference presentations
With most conferences I attend, I try to submit a presentation proposal hoping that it will pay for part of my attendance costs. And I try to speak on something new when possible just to learn or expand on something that interests me. Sometimes, I submit a presentation and then submit a "safety" presentation just … Continue reading Posting my PSU 2018 MacAdmins Conference presentations
Rabble Rabble Rabble!
For everyone who's on Twitter these days promoting fairness, equality and the betterment of mankind through selflessness—good for you! Bless your hearts! Keep up the good fight. But if all you're doing is retweeting, sharing or posting links to someone else keeping up the good fight, I'm going to severely filter you and eventually I'll … Continue reading Rabble Rabble Rabble!
JNUC 2017: The Great Mac Admin Get-Together
Our Marketing group at Jamf is busy putting the final polish on the silverware, pulling the plastic from the furniture, airing out the spare bedrooms in the Minneapolis Hyatt and making hotdish. Lots of hotdish. Next week is JNUC 2017! Minnesota's state fair, one of the largest and best attended fairs in the U.S., is nicknamed … Continue reading JNUC 2017: The Great Mac Admin Get-Together
Posting my PSU 2017 MacAdmins Conference presentation
This was my fourth MacAdmins Conference, which means I've had the opportunity to attend half the conferences since it started in 2010. That's not a record and I know plenty of folks who've attended most or all of them. But it does give me perspective to see some of its formula for success. Invariably, a … Continue reading Posting my PSU 2017 MacAdmins Conference presentation
Jamf AND not Jamf OR
I was a Jamf customer for nearly 10 years before becoming a JumpStart Integrator and later an employee. Friday's release of a marketing piece (now retracted) comparing Jamf to free and open source software (FOSS) was a surprise to many Jamfs as well as the community at large. Don't let this mistake set your opinion … Continue reading Jamf AND not Jamf OR
Posting my PSU 2016 MacAdmins Conference presentation
Tech conferences are both energizing and exhausting at the same time. For five days at PSU 2016 MacAdmins Conference, I got to spend time with friends from here in the Twin Cities area, visit with long-distance friends (some I hadn't seen in 2-3 years), eat lots of food, let someone else make the bed in the morning and … Continue reading Posting my PSU 2016 MacAdmins Conference presentation
