QLab for Timing Audio/Video Productions — by Andy Dolph
Hi, this is Andy and I’m here with a little bit different kind of a story for the NosillaCast. My background is in sound, lighting, and projection design for the theater. I’ve been thinking for a while about telling you all about an application I use a lot. It’s called QLab, the letter “Q” “L […]

The Night Before Christmas
Since it’s only a week until Christmas, I thought now would be a good time to resurrect the poem that has become a holiday tradition on the NosillaCast.

Capto – More than a Screen Shot Utility
I collect screenshot apps like other people collect shoes. It’s not that I haven’t found a good one, it’s that there are so many good ones to play with. I probably use the built-in screenshot utility in macOS more than any of them. ⌘⌃⇧4 to copy a screenshot to my clipboard is my constant go-to […]
