The Road to Macworld takes us from the forest to the mountaintop when we talk to Chuck La Tournous about his Tech vs. Wild: Surviving Your Next Campout (and Other Natural Disasters) with High Tech Gear session. Chuck will talk about some of the gear that you can take with you to enhance your next camping trip or outdoor outing.

The Road to Macworld isn’t just about adults. Jean MacDonald, the newly minted Executive Director for App Camp For Girls, talks about the App Camp for Girls Open House at the show and why, even though it is on the conference track, it is open to all attendees. While they can’t pack the full camp experience into one session, Jean explains how girls will be able to participate in representative activities, how they hope to raise awareness and generate excitement, and why even boys will be welcome.

MacVoices #14067: Road to Macworld: Bryan Chaffin Goes All In With Two Sessions On Bitcoin

Bryan Chaffin is up next on The Road to Macworld, and will be taking on a very timely, controversial subject: Bitcoin. Brian’s first session, Managing and Mining Bitcoins with Your Mac, will focus on getting into Bitcoin – how to mine (create) them, the hardware needed, and what is and is not cost-effective in this emerging economic market. The â€œmanagingâ€ part is especially important, since the downfall of Mt. Gox has cast a shadow on bitcoins that really isn’t deserved. Brian will also be leading the Bitcoins Meet-Up, where things get a little less formal but no less informative, and ideas, questions and answers will be shared. Bryan provides some background information and analysis to get you ready for the session.

MacVoices #14066: Road to Macworld – Jeff Gamet Gets Fit and Wears Tech To Do It (And More)

What would The Road to Macworld be without a conversation with Jeff Gamet? Boring, that’s what. Jeff has two sessions at the show this year, Wearable Tech: What’s Hot, What’s Not and Fitness Tech: Getting Healthy with Your Mac and iPhoneâ€¦sessions that are distinct, but also overlap. Jeff discusses why â€œwearable techâ€ has a broader definition that you might think, how wearable fitness tech started to define the space, and why it has gone much further. Why convenience is and is going to be a critical factor in selecting fitness tech, a debate over Google Glass as the beginning and not the end, and the time and trouble all this stuff takes are part of the discussion, as is Jeff’s podcasting appearances at the show.

MacVoices #14065: Road to Macworld – Steve Sande Gets Physical with Siri

The Road to Macworld gets a talking to by Steve Sande, who will be delivering the Siri’s Arms and Legs: Giving Apple’s Intelligent Assistant the Power to Control Your World session. Not content with just telling Siri what to do in his book, Talking to Siri: Learning the Language of Apple’s Intelligent Assistant, Steve will be covering how Siri can help you give verbal commands to the growing list of Internet-enabled physical devices. But there’s a secret, and Steve won’t reveal it until his session, so you’ll have to come to find out. Steve talks about the security issues that come with these capabilities, and why you may want to let Siri have a voice in controlling your world.
