Opening Metro / Modern / Windows Store apps from PowerShell

2014-01-26 by Brady Prigge

I like to easily launch stuff with just a few keystrokes in PowerShell, so when I did a Google search on ‘How to Launch Metro Apps from PowerShell’, I was a little surprised to see the first result tell me that doing so was not possible.

Thoughts on Vim

2013-08-12 by Brady Prigge

With about 13 years of on-and-off use of VI/Vim, I'd like to think I have some experience on this issue. And in the end I am going to have to agree, Vim is a bit of an oasis in that learning a few neat tricks here and there really makes you feel like you're becoming more productive by using it - but the amount of time you need to commit to get anywhere near using a regular editor is just too much. Like this guy though I too am going to keep on using it here and there despite using Notepad++ and Sublime Text more and more.
