A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Show 371. This episode features a conversation with friend and fellow podcaster David Sparks. I recently did a talk at the Mac Computer Expo titled, iPad, Beyond Web and Email and David just released his new book, iPad at Work. Many of you have asked if I could go over my MCE presentation and discuss some of the tips, tricks, apps, and workflows for using your iPad to do more stuff. Since David literally wrote the book on using your iPad for work I figured this was a perfect opportunity to discuss using your iPad to get more work done.

This show was recorded just a day prior to the announcement of Steve Jobs death. I was extremely sadden to hear the news and debated on what to do about this episode. In the end I decided to release it as is with a special introduction. I think the best way to honor Steve and his legacy is to continue to use the amazing things he gave use to make our dent in the universe. The Maccast may be more like a ding, but I plan to continue to do just that.

Thank you Steve, we miss you already. apple.com/stevejobs

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Show 364. With all the speculation about the future of Apple and longevity of the products going forward without Steve at the helm, I wanted to take a different perspective. Can we gain a deeper perspective on Apple and its future by looking inward and to its past? I asked simple question to 11 Apple journalists, podcasters, creative professionals, and fans. “Why are you an Apple User?”
