Chris Ashley of the SMR Podcast joins us to talk about the Windows 10 Anniversary edition release, integration of Android with Windows, and the Ring Video Doorbell and the Bose Quiet Comfort QC35 wireless noise cancelling headphones. Chris turns the tables and asks my advice on whether his baby girl should get an iPod Touch or a Mac min for her 7th birthday. If you haven't heard Chris before I have to tell you it's always a great time.

Bart Busschots joins us this week but not to talk about stealthy programming or the taming of any terminals or even security. This time he's here to explain how technology has helped him to lose 40 pounds. He'll explain how he worked through denial and then started exercising and finally to add dieting to change his bad habits, all with the use of technology.

In this week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond we're joined by Mike Potter of For Mac Eyes Only to talk about what goes into creating a tech conference. We talk about choosing a venue, creating speaker agreements, getting insurance, managing the catering and more. He knows what he's talking about because he's about to host the 2nd annual Macstock Conference and Expo outside of Chicago this weekend. Steve and I were supposed to go but since our grandson's arrival is any day now, we're going to miss it. However, Mike is going to bring me in on the big screen to do my presentation on why you should consider using Apple Photos. If you haven't bought your tickets yet to Macstock, go check it out at macstockconferenceandexpo.com.
