Super excited for this evening. I’m heading to the Hawthorne Theater to see Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.
A Shortcut to Create a Markdown Link from Safari in macOS
Of course, this is much easier, if I want to blog a page. (I’m using the MarsEdit extension).
A Shortcut to Create a Markdown Link from Safari in macOS | Jorge Arango:
The Shortcut is useful when capturing a page for my notes in Agenda (or Obsidian)
Found a nice page on a simple Shortcut that will create a Markdown link of the front-most window in Safari (which is usually the thing I want to capture)
It gets information about the page and then generates a simple Markdown link and puts that link on the clipboard.
Simple, and helps reduce friction.
Let’s try now… A Shortcut to Create a Markdown Link from Safari in macOS | Jorge Arango
WiFi Testing in the Garden
I was asked if it would be possible to host a hybrid tour from the garden area behind the buildings. It was a beauty day and worth a test!
It was also crazy busy today, cuz we had new staff that I had to meet and get them up to speed with their new accounts and tech.
I Need More Screens
I have a new setup, and I am liking it very much.
My main workspace is the 27" in landscape and the 22" in portrait. I have an older iPad that I use mostly as my music controller. My work laptop is on the right. I use it for meetings, remoting into it when needed.
Floating up on the upper right, is a 2015 iMac, which I picked up from the Oregon State surplus store. It replaced a 2012 Mac mini (the lime green box on the shelves behind my desk).
I moved my monitor stand up onto a short shelf on the desktop. It allowed me to hang the portrait monitor in a lower position. It also gave me more room for tucking small items and a place to put a light source, so I can see my keyboard in the darkened room.
I just missed the brick wall

Intense Sunset Glow
The glow at sunset was so intensely red! I was trying to capture it in this photo, but it doesn’t do it justice.

On the road to Salem
Silent servers make me nervous. Things are down while some electrical work is being done on our building.
I installed a graphics card in my phone! I was picking up some tech at the local Apple Store. When I was in the parking garage next to the Apple Store, I took a photo of their green roof. I then looked in Bitcam’s settings and saw I could install a color graphics card in my phone for a couple bucks. Sold! Thanks IconFactory! 📷
Kinghorn, another local band. Heavy & LOUD. 🎵
The Mighty Missoula. Solid set. I’m glad I was able to catch them. 🎵
From Ogden, Utah: Dearth Of Earth 🎵 Really good set. There’s guys are tight and groove!
Openers: Jenny Haniver 🎵
Beer in hand, waiting for things to start
Learned, last minute, that The Mighty Missoula are playing tonight as part of NWPRC POST ROCK FESTIVAL 2023.
Fortunately, I have an open evening and I’ll be able to go.
Maybe I’ll see you there!
The Last One
This past week, we were gathering old tech for recycling. I found this tower stuck under a desk. It’s hard to believe that it’s still around.
What makes this significant, is that when I first started at NAYA 12+ years ago, my first task was to prepare 20 new computers for staff. This is one of those computers.
I almost don’t want to put this on the pile.
One of my favorite U2 songs and album cover.
