Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Command Line

I'll admit it: Apple's Terminal.app has spoiled me silly. Plus I like feeling like I'm some sort of UNIX power-user when I use cp and mv and vim (when I must). As I've moved into using it more and more, I've been longing to be able to invoke native system Apps. Well, the big one being this fancy-smancy Spotlight everybody seems to like.

Well good ole' Apple is smooth like that. According to the Apple Developer API Reference: Man Pages, you can use mdfind to do a Spotlight search. Take a perusal through that and you'll find some nice things to use the next time you have to go without Aqua.
