One of the things that bugs me is when an organizer who’s scheduling an international conference call uses the wrong timezone when he/she sends out the invitation.

In the terminal, with Safari closed, type: % defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1 (Thanks to MacOSX Hints, Enable the Safari debug menu for the how-to.)

The last couple of weeks, I was able to take the time to do something academic! I read 5 papers and journal articles. Really! Over the course of the next week or two I’ll publish a couple posts writing up my thoughts from each of them.
