Epson 3880 print setup with Lightroom

Brightness + 20
By the way it's TOTALLY worth it to buy a printer profiler if you can afford one. The Color Munki has saved me tearing my hair out multiple times already.

FMP - remember on layout enter sorting

Remember to check for onlayout sorting that I'm doing
Workaround for needing to group by ID, but also get alphabetical was to create a calculated feed value that concatenated FirstLastID together, store as text, and then sort.

Notes on storytelling

  • Drama is anticipation with uncertainty.
  • Great characters have a spine/theme (Marlin in the fish in Finding Nemo is all about avoiding harm to child).
  • Wonder - capture them, draw them in
  • Come from what you know and feel
  • Vulnerability creates connection

From a TED talk heartcount not headcount

Headcount vs heartcount

  • Lifetime employees
  • Better that all suffer a little then some a lot
  • Good leaders make you feel safe
    • Employees know you would sacrifice for them and so they do so for you


Use Roma tomatoes for bruschetta, more flavorful, lots of salt and pepper too

Need to try Smashburger, apparently it's as good as ShakeShack

Mac and the Sculpt keyboard, how to swap keys (command, option)

To reset the keys to work using typical Mac keyboard muscle memory, one would go into System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys -> Microsoft 2.4Ghz Transeiver vX.0 and swap Command and Option.

From this page (apparently they fixed the bug that required the more intense workaround):

For getting true gain/losses after selling Adobe ESPP or RSUs

This information can be found in the eTrade in the Understanding Your Cost Basis Information for Lots Sold After section. That section can be found by going to:

Clever way to erase Android phone

http://www.cnet.com/how-to/the-best-way-to-completely-wipe-your-android-device/
I totally didn't think about encrypting the phone first. Pretty clever. Of course, for any data I had already erased that wouldn't work and would require the fake data load, but I'm not that paranoid.

How to finally get rid of an auto complete suggestion in Outlook Mac

Hey! Good news, I think I solved the problem. Try this:

In Outlook, click the "Contacts Search" button in the toolbar.
Change search scope drop-down to "All Folders" and search for the offending entry.
You should see your bug-a-boo in the "Suggested Contacts" section--at the top for me.
Double click the search result and delete the contact.

Done! Now, if somebody wants to explain how to locate all "Suggested Contacts" aside from the Contacts Search, that would be of interest to me. I would like to be able to groom or purge the entire set of contacts there.

BeeRobber replied on 
OK, I answered that last question also.
Just do a "Contacts Search" in "Suggested Contacts" as the scope. 
Then clear the search box and you will see all suggested contacts.
Edit or delete the ones that you don't want.

Is this documented somewhere?
It's like playing The Room on iPad.
