A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 135. I have been podcasting for almost 9 years and I have been doing it as one of my main sources of income for almost 4 years. But it’s not all I do. Another big part of my day is taken up with web development, but that’s not a side of my life I talk about too much. Today I figured I share a little bit of that part of my life and discuss using your Mac for Web Development along with some of the tools and technologies I use to get stuff done.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 134. I’ve recently had a number of folks ask about Apple’s Airplay and more specifically about Airplay Mirroring. OS X Mountain Lion brought support for Airplay Mirroring to newer Macs and there are a lot of questions about why support is not broader. In this episode I look at Apple’s Airplay Mirroring and try to understand why Apple choose to limit it and what 3rd party solutions we might use to open it up to more Mac users.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 132. There is such a thing as tempting fate and getting overly confident in ones ability to keep our precious iDevices safe. My track record to date has been fairly flawless minus a few bumpd scuffs and scrapes. But all good things can end and some more horrifically and spectacularly than others. Here is my tale.
