Wrapping up the show that was Macworld/iWorld 2014

A big iBeacons talk with Tim Perfitt of Twocanoes

Long time listeners of Mac OS Ken probably know what’s about to happen. Ken has this habit of thinking he can get everything done the day before traveling as if it were a normal day. It is - of course - not a normal day, and thus he does not get everything done. Take for example, today’s cavalcade of Apple news and news related to Apple news. That did not get done. There is much to look forward two, however. Mostly interviews with vendors, fellow podcasters, and other people with things to say from Mack world/eye World 2014. 

Apologies for today. We will see what tomorrow brings tomorrow.
