This week on Mac Power Users:

Stephen and David are joined by Brent Simmons, who works in marketing at The Omni Group. They talk about the tools of the trade, including social media and content creation before shifting gears to discuss Brent’s RSS reader, NetNewsWire and where the Mac could be heading.

I really enjoyed talking with Brent. He has a unique perspective on the Mac, as someone who has developed for it for a long time.

This week on Mac Power Users:

YouTuber and podcaster Sara Dietschy joins Stephen and David to share about her video work, from cameras to editing and beyond. They also discuss managing large amounts of data across multiple locations, the role of the iPad and turning creative work into a business.

I’m a big fan of Sara’s work, and it was a lot of fun to talk about some topics that I normally don’t get into — specifically the pros and cons of doing professional video work on the Mac vs. the PC. The GPUs in the MacBook Pro limit the types of work some people can do with the machines, which is a real bummer in our laptop-focused world.

This week on Mac Power Users, David and I talk with Ian Elsner, a museum exhibit creator who is using the iPhone SE, iPad Pro and an Intel Compute Stick together in some very interesting and unusual ways to help develop educational exhibits for kids and adults. It was a really fun conversation and a look into a world most of us don’t think about all that often.
