You know I’m a big fan of Don McAllister’s ScreenCasts Online. I think it’s the best way to learn how to use applications on the Mac and iOS. It’s a subscription service at $6/month if you buy the yearly subscription. Think about that price compared to other online training courses. I’m biased because Don lets me […]

Hello Allison and NosillaCastaways. Allister here again from New Zealand with a short review of a product recommended to me by another NosillaCastaway. First, the problem to be solved.

I’ve told you a lot of stories about how my friend Dorothy (aka macLurker) helps me out by writing scripts for me to help automate things I do for the podcast. She’s really smart and knows SO much more than I do about programming. We have a lot of fun working on these projects but […]

He lets me pick the topic (with veto powers) but this time he probably should have talked me out of it. Video screencasting is tough work but it’s made easier by the fantastic application Screenflow from Telestream. It captures your […]

Jim Sewell wrote this to me in an email in Markdown. He did this as an illustration of how he, along with Bart and just about everyone else, seem to think I’m missing the boat on using Markdown instead of html. I enjoyed it so I asked permission to share with all of you. Thoughts […]

The first thing you need to know about CES is that everyone who attends has a completely different experience. If you’re a vendor, it’s a grueling grind. You probably travel long distances (many vendors are non-English speaking Chinese people who must have had horrible flights over), you stand in a booth for 12 hours or […]
