'Heart of Gold’ put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore, so I headed for the ditch.” – Neil Young, comments written for the liner notes of his 1977 compilation, Decade.
I don’t know why this just start happening but the Adobe related ‘CEPHtmlEngineHelper’ just started causing the old Mac fan and CPU usage to go crazy.
Looks like it was resolved in private build by Adobe in February 2016.
Guess I’ll update the CC 2015 apps and see what happens, eh?
Update: It appears that the latest updates resolve the problems with ‘CEPHtmlEngineHelper’…
Excellent article about the new(-ish) train based transit system that Denver has been building. More impressive is the idea that the region as a whole has been working together.
I’ve always been impressed by the European model of bike, car, train and plane transportation systems working as an integrated whole. Efficient and easy to use.

Got this link via Kottke. Really enjoyed seeing the process of building a piano, in this case a Steinway piano.
Last fall my wife and I purchased a used Piano after doing a bunch of shopping. Easy to see why new piano’s have such a cost attached to them. Anyway, we bought a used Baldwin to see how much it would get played. Good decision on our part.
Here’s the link.
This is pretty cool.
Electricity consumption in the country was fully covered by solar, wind and hydro power in an extraordinary 107-hour run that lasted from 6.45am on Saturday 7 May until 5.45pm the following Wednesday, the analysis says.

A picture of our cat, Alice. She’s a sweet, gentle little thing. In this picture I think she’s hungry. In that case she gets very, very intent on the goal.
I’ve been using Apple News quite a bit. I like it. I am, however, a power user of Feedly.
The Loop posted a link to an article about how to use Apple News. Nice article though the font face used on the site is a bit small for me. Thank goodness for ‘command-+’.
I thought that this was an interesting idea:
In fact I’m hoping that Apple bring News to the desktop in the next version of OS X.

Don’t like cutting down trees but these got in the way of a new retaining wall. Can’t have the driveway sliding down the hill.
Here it is. The tank, seat and number plate are elsewhere but you can see the tires and frame as well.
A jigsaw puzzle. I’m going to inventory everything, purchase the necessary manuals and then, slowly, get started.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one. – attributed to Mark Twain
As always, very true.
Nice article about how the TimesMachine was built. See here.
I saw a presentation in California (I think) by Evan Sandhaus, one of the authors of this article, about the TimesMachine. He did a great presentation and explanation of the product and I the idea of using mapping is pretty cool.
