My wife, Aditi, works for the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) as an independent contractor. It’s been difficult to describe what she does because of the amount of secrecy that generally has to surround her work for the safety of the dogs involved. However, a video was recently produced by the ASPCA that shows exactly what she does on her monthly trips. She’s not in this one, but these are her friends and co-workers doing what they do best.

The Efficient Mac User (Mar 30th) The slides from my Macworld talk are out in the wild. What’s that in your menu bar? (Mar 31st) A rundown of all of the apps running in my menu bar right now, as pictured in the Efficient Mac User slides.
recap
There have been some questions about what’s in my menu bar as shown in my Macworld session, The Efficient Mac User (this slide). Here’s the list (all 42 icons). It changes frequently, but this is what was running on the morning I grabbed the screenshot for the slide deck.

I’m taking off from SFO today. I want to thank everyone I got to meet (and sorry to those I didn’t have time to catch up with). A special thanks to everyone who helped pack the room to fire capacity at my talk, it was a lot of fun.
