MacVoices

This edition of MacVoices Live, recorded as we get ready for the online version of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), features a discussion of how virtual conferences compare to the in-person variety. Kelly Guimont and Brittany Smith join host Chuck Joiner to discuss the things that we will have and the things we will miss this year. The former includes all the great information from WWDC. Some of the latter include the random encounters, the "hallway track", and the satellite events that brought people from all over the world, even if they didn't have a WWDC ticket. (Part 2 of 2) This edition of MacVoices is supported by MacPaw, the makers of CleanMyMac X. Your Mac. Good as new.

Show Notes: Guests: Kelly Guimont is a longtime Apple geek, sitting down (on a telephone book) in front of an Apple IIe in 1983. She can still hear the ticking of the ImageWriter. Thanks to the miracle of the adjustable leg desk, she no longer needs the phonebook. Kelly writes for The Mac Observer, is the host of the Daily Observations Podcast, is co-host of The Aftershow, and yet still has more to say which she saves for Twitter and Micro.blog. Brittany Smith is a cognitive neuroscientist who provides a variety of consulting services through her business, Devise and Conquer that includes ADD/ADHD coaching, technology coaching, productivity consulting, and more. She is a self-designated "well-rounded geek" who can be found on Twitter as @addliberator. Her latest project is Jedi Yoga.
