Macbook battery

My macbook is almost a year old. Suddenly my battery life sucks. I just opened it up after it charging over night and it only registered 1:33 minutes left. Right now it is at 79% with 1:09 left. It's dropping faster then the elapsed time.

I've heard Merlin talk about some rubber chicken voodoo that he has done with his batteries. I've tried running it all the way down to nothing to reset the charge meter but that doesn't seem to help. Just last week I had over two hours on a full charge.

Window session saver

I swear I came across a Mac app at some point that promised to save and restore sessions of many windows/applications/documents at a time (on login, or manually), but for some reason I can't seem to muster the Google-foo to rediscover it.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I would be eternally grateful.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
