It’s a three-for-all today.
One: Colbert Report taping, tonight. Guest looks to be not so important, but Stephen is the man.
Two: Channel 102 at 8:30. Hopefully Colbert won’t run long so that I have to miss new episodes of Running From Johnny Law, The Outer Limit, and Puppet Rapist.
Three: Aziz Ansari and Andy Blitz are the music clerks you love to hate in Human Giant’s Other Music. Featuring Julie Klausner and Brian Huskey too!
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground.
It’s been a very liquid two days for me.
I was in a meeting a week or two ago where one of my bosses was using the Mac in our conference room and, upon realizing he had to open another app, hit Command-Space as a reflex. Nothing happened – Quicksilver wasn’t installed. Those of us who use Quicksilver (about half of my group) all giggled – because we’ve all been there, grappling on a machine without QS installed.
For those of you who, like my boss and my coworkers, live and die by Quicksilver, there’s a plugin you should definitely check out. Its name is Abracadabra, and it enables a third trigger type: *mouse gestures*. I got to play with this while it was in alpha, and I have to say, it’s really damn slick, and a natural extension on top of QS.
Marcus Volwalker has a [great tutorial](http://marcusvorwaller.com/blog/archives/2006/02/20/quicksilver-abracadabra-gestures/) to help you get started. And if you need help with triggers in general, check my [last tutorial](https://vjarmy.com/archives/2006/01/quicksilver_gold_trigger.php).
