100 Pounds of Dynamite

Just found out about Name Mangler from a friend last night. Its a super useful and super easy utility for mass renaming of files. From the site

If you need to rename several files at once every now and then, this is the application you have always been looking for. Name Mangler is a batch file renamer that supports all common renaming tasks: Find and Replace (including support for regular expressions); Number Sequentially; Change Case; Set Extension; Add Prefix/Suffix; Remove/Insert Characters.

Here is a screenshot:

Brilliant.

I spent a little longer on this than I should have, but it was a fun way to learn how iMovie works.

Writing for the (4-3) majority opinion in the California supreme court decision on same-sex marriage, Chief Justice Ronald M. George had this to say

“Although the understanding of marriage as limited to a union of a man and a woman is undeniably the predominant one, if we have learned anything from the significant evolution in the prevailing societal views and official policies toward members of minority races and toward women over the past half-century, it is that even the most familiar and generally accepted of social practices and traditions often mask an unfairness and inequality that frequently is not recognized or appreciated by those not directly harmed by those practices or traditions.”

Lovely.
