The Road to Macstock takes an unexpected turn as we talk to Elle Newman, who will be coordinating two different activities at the conference. While most of the presenters will be focused on the more intellectual aspects of computer use, Elle will be addressing the physical stresses and strains of those who spend too much time at the keyboard. Her “Body Hacks” session on the first day and “Yoga for Nerds” on the second will teach attendees how to take better care of themselves while working intensely on that next application, novel, or presentation.

With Adobe appearing in the tech headlines for a variety of reasons recently, we wanted to talk to Victor Agreda about an article he penned for TidBITS. Victor related his experiences with Pixelmator Pro, and how it compared to Photoshop CC, with a focus on some specific features, and why you might want to review your pixel editor of choice. Our conversation covered the speed of the program, where Pixelmator Pro shines, and where Photoshop CC comes out on top. If you are making a purchasing decision, or reviewing the one you’ve already made, listen to what Victor has to say first. Victor also talks about one of his current projects that takes a different, analog approach to productivity.
