How’d you start out in technology, and the Mac platform?ĭr. I mean, if you and Terpstra had a baby it’d take over the world.Ĭlearly you have a depth of knowledge when it comes to the Mac. More than once I’ve Google’d for a solution and come to something you’ve done. Stephen: I really appreciate the mix of writing and posts on your site. Like everyone, I’m on Twitter ( where I try, like everyone, to be clever. Unless I have something really different to say, I figure my readers have already had their fill of those topics by the time they get around to my site. I don’t do much link-blogging, and I tend to stay away from the topics that everyone in the Mac/Apple blogosphere is talking about. And scattered in the mix are posts on music and politics. I also write occasional posts on engineering topics (I’m a mechanical and civil engineer in real life), where I indulge my love of mechanics and the mathematics behind it. Since getting an account on GitHub a few years ago, I’ve been putting more of my scripts, especially the longer ones, there so people can get them by downloading or forking instead of the more tedious copying and pasting. I want to make it as easy as possible for my readers to tweak my scripts to match their needs.

That’s why my posts usually include the full source code and a painfully detailed explanation of what the various parts do. I don’t put the kind of polish into my scripts that Brett Terpstra puts into his, mainly because I view these kinds of scripts as highly personal, things that should be customized to an exact fit for each user. Many of the posts describe the little scripts I write to automate the dull, repetitive things our computers-in my case, Macs-ask us to do. Fortunately, Google sends people who search for “dr drang” to my site.Īs its name (which comes from a John Lennon quote) implies, my blog covers things that strike me as interesting. I have an extraordinarily poor sense of marketing, so my domain, blog name, and pseudonym have no relationship to one another.
Drang: My blog, “And now it’s all this,” lives at, where I try to post 4–5 times a week. For those readers who might not know, tell us a little about what you do online.ĭr. Drang, thanks for taking some time from whatever it is you do to chat.
