In this episode George Starcher (@georgestarcher) and I checkout and discuss some of the cool home control devices that are hitting the market.

Maccast Members 156 – Stuff I Use

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 156. – I realized that I don’t talk often about the things that I use with my Macs and devices. Occasionally something gets mentioned naturally, but I thought a show on just the stuff I’m currently using could be interesting. This list changes over time, so it’s probably worth me doing a show on occasion just to talk about the cool products, software, and stuff I’m currently into or using.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 155. – I’m back from vacation and still playing catch up from all of last weeks WWDC goodness. After parsing through a mountain of articles, information, and analysis I try to weigh and make sense of it all. From OS X Mavericks to the new Mac Pro and iOS 7 there is a ton to comment on. Apple has shown they’re still on course in a big way and reminded us all what it means to sign the Apple name to a product.
