    Chris Breen shows you how to create a simple Automator action that will automatically backup your iOS apps every time iTunes downloads updates for them. This is perfect for avoiding “The Twitter App Effect,” where a major update takes one step forward, but two huge steps back.

    This action will even create sequential backups of your apps, so you can hang onto (and roll back to) any previous version you’ve downloaded.

Repurpose first, recycle later.
     
  3. When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.

  4. Andy Ihnatko has a great tip on using a new Automator action in Lion.

    Haven’t upgraded to Lion yet but this is going to see a lot of use on my machine
