        <title>How to generate a website CV from a plain text BibTex file</title>
        <description>
          
          The Publications &amp;amp; Talk and Teaching portions of this website auto-generate from BibTex files. That means that I didn’t input the information directly into any pre-formatted website page template. Rather, I keep a list of my publication, talks, and classes I’ve taught in BibTex format (as I would any other...

        <title>Save your eyes while saving paper.</title>
        <description>
          
          I try to print as little as possible, so I often use a double-page print layout. That way, each printed page includes two logical pages. This is called a 2-up format (you can have 3-up, 4-up, N-up). The problem is that Apple’s N-up feature is pretty bad. You get it...

        <title>Using Home Assistant to Automate Vacuuming</title>
        <description>
          
          Home Assistant is an open source home automation platform that puts local control and privacy first. It can be controlled through a browser, or though android and iOS apps. It can run on a variety of PCs - I have mine running on a Raspberry Pi. I’ve posted my configuration...

        <title>Searching BibDesk with Alfred</title>
        <description>
          
          If you use Alfred (see here) and BibDesk (see here), you might find the following useful. The script below uses Alfred’s “Workflow” feature. It provides a set of commands to search bibliographical entries directly from Alfred, and execute a variety of actions related to citing, opening PDFs, narrowing searches, etc....

        <title>Find Everything with Alfred</title>
        <description>
          
          Alfred is like Mac’s Spotlight on steroids. Its an application launcher, an emailer, an iTunes controller, a weather report, a search tool, and much more. It finds things on your computer, but it also makes doing things on your computer much quicker. The basic idea behind Alfred is simple: you...

        <title>Keeping Track of Documents and Bibliographies</title>
        <description>
          
          Bibliographies for small projects are easy. But they are complicated and time-consuming for larger projects. You should use a bibliography manager. Zotero is free and flexible. Papers is swanky but overrated (IMO). I discuss BibDesk below. It is open-source, easy, and very configurable. I started using BibDesk years ago, when...

        <title>Author's Text vs. Reader's Text, Part 2</title>
        <description>
          
          This post is about the feature of Scrivener I use most frequently. It is the ability to separate the author’s text from the reader’s text on a sentence-by-sentence level. The basic idea is that Scrivener allows you to specify chunks of text as “Annotations” and then control whether those annotations...

        <title>Author's Text vs. Reader's Text, Part I</title>
        <description>
          
          One of the greatest benefits of Scrivener is the ability differentiate between the text the author sees and the text the reader sees. In programs like Word and Pages, this can only be done by using the “comments” mechanism. Comments, however, can only (easily) handle a subset of the kinds...

        <title>Scrivener is Awesome (And So Can You!)</title>
        <description>
          
          (Revised 9/03/2019) Scrivener is worth every penny. In fact, it’s the only piece of software I suggest students buy. Everything else I use is open-source. In this post, I’ll list why I use Scrivener. In later posts, I’ll provide more detailed instructions. I use Scrivener because it encourages the user...

        <title>Introduction: Tech Tools for Students</title>
        <description>
          
          Some academics have a “system” they use to keep track of research, writing, feedback, revisions, etc. Students can spend years figuring out what a good “system” is, partly because academics are bad at sharing, After some conversation with students, I decided to write some posts about my “system.” I recommend...
