HOW TO OPEN A FINDER WINDOW FROM THE MAC OS X TERMINAL
Today I was wondering how/if I could open a Finder window from my current location in Terminal.app.1
Turns out, it is pretty easy and straight-forward. From wherever you are in a Terminal window, simply enter
open .
to create a Finder window for your current location, as you see in the following screenshot:
The Mac OS X open command also works using files as a parameter:
open mymovie.avi
will open your favorite OS X movie-playing application (in my case: VLC) to play mymovie.avi.

The cup holder in my car also serves perfectly as a strawberry muffin holder…
PROJECT 365: NEW SOCKS FOR THE BIMMER!
When I bought the BMW 3 series (E91) in December last year, it was equipped with Bridgestone Turanza ER 300 run-flat tires (205/55 R16). Those were neither sporty nor comfortable, but instead felt as hard as a rock and were not fun when driving through lane grooves, even when I tried applying different tire pressure settings.
Today I received my new alloy rims and Dunlop SP Sport 01 A tires (225/45 R17). Although those are run-flat tires, too, and those tend to be a harder ride than “regular” tires, they feel much better. The car is a little harder to steer with the wider tires but it runs so much smoother now. I guess my back will thank me, Oh, and by the way: yes, I’m getting old. Preferring comfort over sportyness. 🙂

Hm. Genuine Italian espresso. Served at Ristorante Milano in Sindelfingen. They have great food, too. 🙂
