Guy Serle, best known for being one of the co-hosts of the MyMac Podcast, sincerely apologizes for anything he has done or caused to have happened while in possession of dangerous podcasting equipment. He should know better but being a blonde from Florida means he’s probably incapable of understanding the damage he has wrought. Guy is also the author of the novel, The Maltese Cube. You can follow his exploits on Twitter, and catch his latest project, Mac to the Future, on Facebook.

At Macstock, Mike and Rachel Schmitz talk about defining productivity, Rachel’s first and now on-going Macstock experiences, and how it has motivated her to learn more about her Mac. (Look for a photobomb by Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus!)

Ken Ray and John Champion are the hosts of Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast, as well as Mission Log Live, and join us to talk about the history of their shows and their planned activities at Star Trek Las Vegas. The real reason for their visit is their adoption of the virtual reality platform Sansar, and how they are using it to interact with their audience. Even without VR goggles, the experience left a lasting impression on host Chuck Joiner. The discussion centers on how it is working out, what it offers now, and where they hope to take it.

The Road to Macstock comes to an end in a conversation with Macstock organizer Mike Potter, who has some new announcements heading into the event. Mike explains the Digital Pass option that will let those who aren’t able to make the trip to still enjoy the presentations, talks about why TextExpander from Smile is the perfect Gold sponsor for this year’s productivity theme, and what he expects to come out of this year’s Macstock Swap. Macstock has grown and evolved during its short lifetime. Mike discusses how and why that has happened, reviews the evening activities, and teases us with a special announcement that will be made on Sunday.

Michael Potter  is the Executive Producer of For Mac Eyes Only, and the organizer of the annual Macstock Conference and Expo. Mike’s love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High’s Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab.

The Road to Macstock finally takes on Allison Sheridan, who tells us what she may or may not present at the conference. Will it be text tricks or mind mapping? Allison talks about some of the surprising things that you can’t do with text and how to get around them, then take’s Chuck’s suggestion of turning her mind map of her presentation into a presentation itself. Will she present one, the other, or a combination of both?

Our storage needs are growing every day. Photos, videos, documents…we are all getting and keeping more, and that’s why Jeff Carlson wrote Take Control of Your Digital Storage. From hard drives to SSDs, NAS to RAID, iCloud to Dropbox, Jeff helps us understand how it all works, and what you need. We talk to him about the benefits of network attached storage, Apple’s built-in functions to help offload documents to the cloud, and why some types of RAID shouldn’t be considered backups.

Wally goes into how multicam projects can be created with tech you already own, including your iPhone and iMovie, and provides some real-world examples of where it can be used.
