A July update to my current gear and software:
macOS Task Manager - GoodTask + Reminders - GoodTask is still my favorite task manager as it integrates with Reminders and can be as powerful as I want it to be (very customizable). Text Editor - Nova + BBEdit - Depending on the situation, I am switching between Nova and BBEdit…both are great applications. Terminal App - Terminal - It is always nice to use the built in applications as they present on all macOS devices.
An update on my current load-out:
macOS Task Manager - GoodTask + Reminders - GoodTask is still my favorite task manager as it integrates with Reminders. Text Editor - Nova - Also using BBEDIT…torn between these two! (This hasn’t changed) Terminal App - Terminal - It is always nice to use the built in applications as they present on all macOS devices. Automation App - Hazel Online Backup Service - Backblaze Backup Application - Carbon Copy Cloner iOS Reddit App - Apollo Podcast App - Mimir - Fantastic support and the app works really well.
An update to the tools I use:
macOS Task Manager - GoodTask + Reminders - Sticking with GoodTask and Reminders for now. I moved over to Omnifocus for a while and fiddled around too much with the settings versus actually using it as a tool. Text Editor - Nova - Also using BBEdit…torn between these two! Terminal App - Terminal - I have been using iTerm and continue to return to Terminal.
An update to the tools I use:
macOS Task Manager - GoodTask + Reminders - I might be moving over to Omnifocus and Reminders. It is dependent on what is best for my workflow. Text Editor - Nova - Also using BBEdit…torn between these two! Terminal App - Terminal - I have been using iTerm and continue to return to Terminal.app as it is on all the macOS devices I use.
Aloha all,
Small update to my favorite gear and software:
I only own one camera now: The Fujifilm X-H2S. My favorite podcast app is now Mimir. My go-to calendar app on both iOS and macOS: BusyCal. Other than that, no huge changes from June!

To start the new year with actually writing an article, I wanted to share with you the tools (both software, hardware, and some miscellaneous items) that I have personally been using to get stuff done (amongst other things): https://www.jeromekoehler.com/my-gear/.
I'll continue to add my reasoning behind my choices and update the list as my preferences continue to change.
A few of these links are Amazon affiliate links as I plan to write more reviews + provide my feedback and those help offset the costs of the items and the hosting!
I recently was a guest on my friend Patrice’s Podcast, Foodie Flashback, and had a blast discussing different foods and my history in regards to preparing my own food. Good times!

I created a small time lapse the of the construction of set 75099: Rey's Land Speeder. Due to the low difficulty and small number of pieces, this set was constructed rather quickly…hopefully I will get some more time to put together the Millennium Falcon or the Tie Carrier.

As part of a group of IT professionals, we all are usually on the same page when we recommend not to install the latest beta of iOS, iPad OS, or macOS. Even though it looks like everything works well, there are usually compatibility issues, constant crashing, data loss, and a plethora of other issues that crop up and can take down that mission critical system you installed said software on. If you did not heed the warnings and wanted to live on the wild side, this support article from Apple details steps on how to get back to your current, non-beta operating system (I also hope that a backup was made before you made the jump!
Products Mentioned in this article:
OWC USB-C Travel Dock Anker USB-C Hub 5 in 1 TD;LR Summary: A great, affordable USB-C hub, that has most of what you need minus power passthrough and a built-in media card reader.
With the all of the different USB-C hubs I have purchased over the past, I have begun to rely mostly on two different companies for my gear: OWC and Anker. In this weekly pick, I will give some feedback on the Anker USB-C Hub that I purchased due to my Satechi hub becoming hot enough to cook on (I might be exaggerating a bit)!
The Japanese have some interesting cartoon characters in their country and Mameshiba(http://dogatch.jp/mameshibaworld/ "Link to Mameshiba's Site") is one of them. So, what is Mameshiba? It is a combination of both a soy bean and a dog. They released a little game for iOS that allows you to catch all the characters in the Mameshiba universe and each has this utterly cute saying. This was one of the more interesting quick reviews I have created just due to the type game and the music and sound-effects that are present.
As you know, when running your business, time is money. This week’s pick is a tip that will save you, our awesome reader, a bit of time when resizing multiple columns inside of a finder window. To resize multiple columns at once, you will need to be in the column view (by clicking on the 3rd little view near the top left of the finder window or pressing CMD-3) before you can perform the task.
As more and more users flock to content management systems like WordPress (I personally utilize this CMS for my art business’s storefront), more and more business professionals need to update their blogs on the go. You might have an important event that needs to be publicized as soon as possible or you want to take advantage of some down time to update the information on your site. At first, the Wordpress mobile application wasn’t that great due to a lack of features and stability so I only used it for.
Pick for October 6, 2014 iWerkz Bluetooth Keyboard(Jerome) I have been searching for a great, portable bluetooth keyboard for a while now and ended up purchasing the iWerkz Bluetooth Keyboard due to its portability, price, and ability to connect wirelessly to my iPad. The keyboard folds in half and fits into a small case that doubles as a stand for either an iPad or iPhone as needed. Due to its minuscule size, it doesn’t take up as much space as my Logitech K760, with its photovoltaic panel, in my bag.
Deliveries by Junecloud I have a need to track a lot of deliveries that are incoming and outbound and needed an applicatio to consolidate tracking information for all of the different services that are utilized by my business and by the likes of Amazon, Apple, etc. My go-to app to keep track of all the deliveries is the aptly named Deliveries by Junecloud. I am able to enter my tracking numbers and it automatically detects the service via the number I entered.
