Now, I’m sure post/pandemic expenses have something to do with this (though our meal in 2021 was even more so in the teeth of the pandemic). Lest you think this is only about the price of fish, the lunch teriyaki/tempura combo has also gone up from $11.80 to $16.80. The most egregious is uni from $10/piece to $15/piece. Some examples: yellowtail from $3/piece to $4/piece halibut likewise from $2.80/piece to $4/piece. Almost all the nigiri by the piece has gone up in price by at least 30% as well. The deluxe combo has gone up from $50 to $65 the lunch omakase from $60 to $80. Here are some of the increases for comparison: the basis lunch sushi combo has gone from $19.80 to $29.80. A nearly identical meal eaten a year previous had cost $185 with tax and tip. So, what are my reservations about the price? Well, with tax and tip the total came to $258.72. Service was friendly and present when needed. Scroll down for thoughts on service and my reservations about the price. My picks of this bunch were the kanpachi, all three silvery/oily fish, the hotate and the uni.įor a look at the restaurant, menu and what we ate, click on a pic below to launch a larger slideshow. My assortment comprised the following: hirame/halibut, kanpachi/amberjack, hamachi/yellowtail, sake/salmon, kohada/gizzard shad, iwashi/sardine, aji/Japanese horse mackerel (billed as Spanish mackerel on the menu), saba/mackerel, hotate/scallop, Santa Barbara uni/sea urchin genitalia, ikura/salmon roe. The lunch sushi combo included the following: albacore, salmon, kanpachi/amberjack, maguro/tuna, ika/squid, hamachi//yellowtail, ebi/shrimp and tamago/egg. I put together a nigiri assortment for myself, along with some bonus pieces for the missus (uni) and the older boy (ikura). The three lunch combos came with miso soup and salad. He liked all of his food very much and in a shocker particularly liked the salad, or more accurately, the salad dressing: he ate it all!. The younger boy, who thankfully is not as committed to the sushi lifestyle as his brother, got the lunch teriyaki-tempura combo and also got two pieces of salmon nigiri on the side. Please note that I am not complaining.Įverything else was as expected: the older boy and the missus both got an order each of the lunch sushi combo: 8 pcs of nigiri plus tuna roll. But, in fact, we ended up with two large appetizer orders of ankimo, each with 4 thick pieces. Two, I said, thinking that meant we were being offered ankimo in sushi form. She came back and said he would indeed be happy to serve us some and asked if we wanted one order or two. I asked if she could possibly see if the chef would be willing to spare some for pilgrims from Minnesota who are denied such pleasures there. At the time of ordering I asked if they had any and our server told us they did but it was reserved for dinner. What did we eat? We started with some ankinmo/monkfish liver. It’s a slightly crowded main dining room-there’s also a smaller private room off to the side and a few seats at the sushi bar. All of that is now in the past in Los Angeles, and we were inside. The last time we were at Nozomi-almost exactly a year earlier-they had, like many other places, tented outdoor seating on the go and that’s where we’d sat. The price, however, was not what we’d hoped/expected it would be-more on this below. Nozomi is an altogether more reliable prospect though and I am pleased to report that our eventual meal there-lunch the next day-was just as good as we’d hoped it would be. But Sun Country screwed us over and we ended up eating dim sum instead at the new Torrance outpost of Lunasia (a meal that was good but not as good as I’d expected it might be). Lunch at Sushi Nozomi was supposed to be our first meal in Los Angeles this December, to be eaten on our way from LAX to Seal Beach.

One of the top-used choices is probably already on your Mac, in fact. Som require you to install software on your Mac while others will just run from a browser. In this category, you’ve got several possibilities. Your Choices for Screen Recording Software Without Editing Capabilities With that in mind, I tend to categorize screen recording apps for Mac into two camps: those that include video editing functionality and those that simply record your screen for you. Not always, though, so you might also consider using a screen recorder in tandem with video editing software. In some cases, you might find all the features you need in a single app. These are just some of the features and capabilities you might be looking for in screen recording apps for your Mac. Whatever you choose, you’ll want to be able to include that easily into your project. For that, you may want to record your own voice or use a text-to-speech app. Naturally, you’l probably want to be able to include audio narration, too. If the video has sensitive information in it, like your username or address, maybe you want to be able to blur that out. You will probably want some way to create arrows or other callouts, pointing out what you’re doing. When you’re creating a tutorial for how to accomplish a task on the Mac, you might also need the ability to mark up the video. For example, if you want to record a streaming video with sound, like a lecture or online call, you need audio, too. With all of the different reasons you may want to record your Mac’s screens come a variety of features and capabilities you’ll want. The Nuts & Bolts of Screen Recording Apps for Your Mac Let’s check out some of the best screen recording apps you can find for your Mac. While macOS does include its own screen recording capability by way of QuickTime, that software can only do so much. If you’re helping friends and family with their own tech, recording tutorials can be a game changer. Perhaps you want to keep a recording of an important business meeting. You will, however, need a video converter if you’re looking to export in anything other than MOV format.There are plenty of reasons you may need to record your Mac’s screen. You can also add clips to the end of a sequence if you’d like to combine your video screen capture with something that you’re referencing. QuickTime at least features some essential editing tools like rotation, splitting, and trimming. With such an app, you can record microphone audio along with sounds from another app. Otherwise, you might need to get an audio feedback app like Loopback to set as your microphone instead. You can put the volume up on your speakers and hold a microphone up to them (or hope your internal mic picks up most of the sound they make). QuickTime sadly isn’t as good at capturing your computer’s internal sounds. You can select a microphone you plug in, or your Mac’s built-in microphone. You’ll see a popup for the video screen capture menu where you can choose the area of the screen you want to capture.ĭo you want to record audio with your QuickTime screen recording? Select the dropdown icon next to the Record button to choose a microphone for adding audio as you do your video recording. Just open QuickTime Player, then go to File > New Screen Recording. For reference, throttled services generally took around 10 minutes to download 1GB in our tests. The download took less than a minute for Dropbox, and a minute and a half for Google Drive, which we consider to be among the best. Cloud storage reviews: how we tested themīoth Dropbox and Google Drive managed the upload in just over four minutes, which is as good as it gets give our broadband connection.For the latter, we used the same 1GB test file to check upload and download speeds, which gives an indication as to whether the company applies behind-the-scenes throttling. In an effort to find out which cloud storage drive is best, we took more than 20 of them and compared their features, value, and performance. Like Dropbox and Microsoft One Drive, Google Drive has plenty of settings to tailor things like bandwidth usage and proxy selection, which is more than can be said about iCloud Drive.īusiness users especially will be attracted to the variety of third-party integrations supported by Google Drive, including mind-mapping tools and document converters, however Box supports a lot more. It syncs files in the background and places them inside your native file management system - like File Explorer and Finder - so there’s little need to open the Google Drive app. That said, if you do prefer to work from other, non-Google apps, maybe the desktop client would make more sense. It’s a good thing that the experience is slick then the familiar-looking interface supports drag-and-drop from your desktop and is easy to navigate. Unlike Microsoft Office and Apple’s offerings, Google’s apps are online only: there is no desktop software.įor this reason, we think Google Drive is best accessed through its browser portal. Google Drive takes a similar approach to managing files in its storage space, however the company’s own suite of word processing apps (Docs, Sheets, and Slides) are among the best in the business. That way, you can drag and drop your files and let them sync in the background without having to wait for an upload or download in the browser. If you prefer to work from a different set of apps, such as Word (opens in new tab), Excel (opens in new tab), and PowerPoint (opens in new tab), the easiest experience will come from using the desktop client which keeps your files in File Explorer or Finder. From the browser, you have access to the entire Google ecosystem, including its free Docs, Sheets, and Slides apps, as well as other apps like YouTube, Maps, and Calendar. Google Drive works in a very similar way to Dropbox, however it’s arguably better when accessed through a browser. Paid accounts get access to three e-signatures per month with the company’s HelloSign service, and while its Paper word processing app is a little limited, third-party integrations are aplenty with direct access to things like Microsoft Office from within the Dropbox interface. It’s arguably a better system than Apple’s Keychain and Google Chrome’s built-in tool thanks to the fact that it’s available on most devices, regardless of operating system or browser, as it works through its own app. The company’s password manager Passwords is bundled in with every account, free and paid, however free accounts are limited to 50 passwords. For confidential files, Dropbox recommends storing them in its ‘Vault’ which is a password-protected space within your storage allowance, which can be handy for family accounts.

The lack of a Web app is a pretty big problem for me. The desktop may seem great, but surely you'd want a way to manage your calendar if you were at a different computer or were an Android or Windows Phone user. I couldn't figure out what made the difference.Īs mentioned, there's an iPhone app but no Web app or versions for other platforms. Maps were hit and miss in my testing, with Fantastical 2 doing its job sometimes but not always. Click the preview, and a full Web page showing the location pops up using either Apple Maps or Google Maps if you override the default option. Fantastical 2 knows whether to create a calendar entry or reminder based on what you say.Īddresses in your calendar appointments display with a little map when you preview them. Reminders and calendar appointments are not the same thing, and I like that Fantastical 2 intuits which one to use. Type an event into the field, and Fantastical 2 will add it-but, if you begin to write "reminder," then appropriate options and features for reminders appear instead. One smart feature that sets Fantastical 2 apart is what happens when you use the quick event-creation button (the plus sign). If you have any reminders, Fantastical 2 will display them here, too. You can customise it to show as many upcoming appointments as will fit on the screen, or, if that's overwhelming, just appointments in the current day and next day. Instead, the rest of its left rail shows upcoming appointments. Apple's app displays a list of your calendars and their location (e.g., Google, iCloud), whereas Fantastical 2 tucks them away unless you select to Manage Calendars from a button at the bottom. Even the quick-add plus sign button looks identical and is in the same location. The largest area of the window in both apps shows an overview of the month, week, or day (your choice), and a left panel housing a smaller month view. The fonts are similar, and the overall layout absolutely mimics the native app. Pop-up alerts, designed to blend in with Yosemite's aesthetics, were noticeable without being a nuisance.įantastical 2's interface looks an awful lot like Calendar's. I can't stand default reminders at arbitrary 15-minute intervals, so I appreciated the fine control I had over the settings. Every subsequent time I shut down my machine and rebooted it later, even after making changes to my Google Calendar elsewhere, Fantastical synced the changes without my even noticing.Īlerts are highly customisable, which endeared this app to me. Fantastical 2 grabbed all the information and put it into one big desktop calendar quickly. Between the lot of them, I have multiple colour-coded events for personal events, work events, and my workout schedule. I had the app yank in all my Google Calendar data, which was already porting through the Apple Calendar. While that information may sound like a lot, the more you put into Fantastical 2, the more you get back. If you're interested in purchasing the software, you can get it directly from the developer or from the App Store.Īs you set up this calendar program, it asks for permission to access your Calendars, Reminders, Contacts, and location. Installing apps that don't come from the official Apple App Store takes a little configuration in your Mac's System Preferences, but it can be done. You can try Fantastical 2, which requires OS X Yosemite 10.10, for two weeks for free if you install the trial app from the developer's website. Their icons look similar, but Fantastical 2 beats Calendar in features by a long shot. The one-time US$39.99 price of Fantastical 2 seems outrageously high considering every Mac already comes with Apple's own Calendar app preinstalled.
