This Weekend: Spring Cleaning for your Mac

So let’s spruce things up. First up is getting rid of the space hogs that are inevitably sucking down hard disk space. My favorite option for finding what is taking up the most space is called Grand Perspective. It’s free and lets you visually see what is taking up the most space on your Mac. Once you get rid of those old TV episodes, it’s time to get rid of those apps that you aren’t using anymore. The Generosity Of Criticism. One night, I found myself in my regular bar surprised to find there was an amateur stand up comedy event happening.

The Generosity Of Criticism

The young comedians were not very good — they were aping the all too familiar tropes. But one comedian broke from his script a couple of times to engage the audience — which was a tad rambunctious — and in those brief moments he showed signs of vitality. “Critical thinking is simply not a part of American education.” I wanted to discuss his act with him. I didn’t just want to say good job or, for that matter, crappy job — because what do either of those things accomplish? But there was no way, socially, I could do that — at least in my position as some random dude drinking at the bar. And this just seems insane as what is more generous than critique?

To say whether you like or dislike something is, alas, not very interesting to anyone outside of your immediate circle of friends. To be critical is to go with something. Unfortunately, we don’t teach being critical.
