Really good donuts and crazy good cinnamon roles from Emily’s Donuts and Cafe!
Two Drummer’s Smokehouse
Tammy found Two Drummer’s Smokehouse, this middle-of-nowhere place, when researching Williamsburg and we stopped in for dinner on the way into town. The meat was delicious. The ribs were fall of the bone and delicious. The pulled pork was juicy and full of flavor. The brisket was delightful. Probably the weakest showing on the plate was the cornbread.
The Lab by Alchemy Coffee
I was looking for a coffee fix and Tammy did some searching and found The Lab by Alchemy Coffee. We drove here and the place looked pretty solid. Great ambiance and they seemed to have their act together. I got a macchiato as well as a pour-over to go. The macchiato presented great, but was a bit thin. They need their espresso dialed in a bit better. The pour over was really good however the roast was a little lighter than I would typically go.
Boylan-Heights has good burgers with a focus on sustainability and grass-fed happy burgers. The burgers tasted a little different though which I think was the result of them using dry aging with the meat. Tater tots were ridiculous good!
Tammy found The Urban Farmhouse for breakfast in Richmond just down the street from the Residence Inn we spent the night at. They do a weekend brunch with a very, very tiny kitchen. More like a coffee shop that makes a run at making waffles and such on the weekend. They seem to do it all without a normal flat cooktop since everything was cooked in some sort of an iron or skillet. Food was tasty and the pastries were really good as well.
Used Siri dictation to spell my password to Apple TV. Worked great!
Mac OS X, iOS, tvOS and watchOS updates all going crazy tonight!
Apple Watch updates redefine slow. Best to just walk away and come back an hour later.
Nice, Bent Paddle Brewing serving beer samples at REI Bloomington. Delicious break. Hop Forest is delicious.
Microsoft is the only name I would trust in this group.

Morning on Cannon Lake.
Curious about mySleepButton. Maybe I can use instead of melatonin.
First boat I’ve seen on Cannon Lake this year! Goodbye ice!
Looks like another great turnout!

Very impressive ChatOps and Mesos work happening at #TeamSPS! Great enabling technology. Love demos.
Email Rule to OmniFocus Action
I get a large volume of email and I try to find every tool I can to better manage it. There are a number of systems that notify me of actions I need to take via email. These clutter up my workflow and I never process these messages like email from people. For example, someone submits an expense report and I need to approve it so Concur sends me an email.
For emails that are always actions, I’ve found it nice to route them straight into my OmniFocus Inbox using a rule. The Omni Sync service has a Maildrop feature that will route from an email address directly to your OmniFocus Inbox.
I use a rule like the one above route these system emails around my email and then close them out in my task workflow in OmniFocus. It’s a great way to keep email clean and automatically get these next actions in my system.
Wow. Never do a Twitter search related to politics. Frightening.
