  1. Smart Mailboxes in Mail.app

    Over the last couple of weeks I’ve started experiementing with smart folders in Mail.app. I created one for unread spam (for quick review), another for the last 7 days of mail in my inbox, another for all unread messages, etc. After not really using these most of the time, I determined what I really wanted…

  2. Support

  7. The Mariners Stink

    They made a few good trades at the deadline (and might be able to do a couple more), but it still looks like it will be a long time until they can really contend again. It’s a real shame they were run into the ground like this after building such a great team just a…
