The Road to Macstock Conference and Expo is getting short, but we're not done yet. Jeff Gamet of The Context Machine (among other projects) talks about how his presentation will approach to smart home automation, and why it probably won't start where you think it will. He will also share his best tip for taking on the automation challenge. Jeff and host Chuck Joiner are also doing a session together, talking about how to get more for your Apple (and tech) dollar. Find out the kinds of things they will be discussing and why you should attend before buying any new tech.
