Just wanted to wish everyone a great day! We just got up, have buns in the oven (literally), and are about to go wake up the kiddo.
Merry Christmas everyone!

A page I’ve had since forever just got a minor facelift. I’m watching Helvetica, the movie, so… yeah.

Copy to clipboard from command line
I just discovered a couple useful command-line tools on OSX and thought I’d share. pbcopy will copy stdin to the clipboard and pbpaste will send the clipboard to stdout.
$ cat somefile.txt | pbcopy #copy a file to the clipboard $ pbpaste | grep foo #search the clipboard for foo
Handy.

Black Friday @ Amazon
Black Friday is coming up and Amazon appears to be running some great deals. Be sure to check it out if you don’t feel like standing in line all morning. They’re also running their Amazon Customers Vote! deal again where you get to vote on which deal you want.
(disclaimer: these are affiliate links, so I get a small cut if you buy things after following them. either way, Amazon runs some great deals during the holidays if you keep your eyes peeled, so I don’t feel weird offering them here.)

Making Grenadine
You may have had grenadine before. It’s a pretty common mixer for stiffish drinks and is usually a bright red color. I’d always thought it a product of some lab, maybe cough syrup gone bad, but I found out it was originally just a pomegrante syrup.
So tonight I made some. Bring two cups of pomegrante juice (I used Pom) to a boil and reduce by half. Lower the heat and stir in one cup of sugar. Simmer for a couple of minutes to dissolve then cool. Delicious!
Should store in the fridge for a couple weeks.
