Guests:

Shelly Brisbin  is a writer, editor, podcaster, and cocktail enthusiast. Her current project is  iOS Access for All, a comprehensive guide to accessibility for Apple’s iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. The ebook will be published in the spring of 2014. Shelly’s career in tech journalism spans 25 years, 13 books,hundreds of articles and blog posts for leading tech publications, and several stints on the editorial staffs of leading trade publications and Web sites. She served as editor-in-chief of  Blogger & Podcaster Magazine, networking editor for  MacUser Magazine, and an editor for online learning company,  Powered, Inc.  and two  Hoover’s  Web sites. Her podcasts include the award-winning  Shelly’s Podcast, and  App Store Pundit, an iOS app review show. Her cocktail writing appears on this blog, and at the sadly departed  The Spirit World. When she’s not working, Shelly spends time with her husband and cats in Austin, Texas, watches ancient movies, and reads books, many of which are made of paper.  

Kelly Guimont  is a longtime Apple geek, sitting down (on a telephone book) in front of an Apple IIe in 1983. She can still hear the ticking of the ImageWriter. Thanks to the miracle of the adjustable leg desk, she no longer needs the phonebook. Kelly writes for  The Mac Observer, is co-host of  The Aftershow, makes regular appearances on the  Daily Observations Podcast  and the  British Tech Network  and yet still has more to say which she saves for  Twitter.  

Brett Terpstra  is a coder, writer and web developer. He works behind the scenes at blogs including Engadget, Joystiq and The Unofficial Apple Weblog. He also writes for The Unofficial Apple Weblog, and contributes to Macworld.  Brett develops  Marked  for Mac and recently co-authored  â€œ60 Mountain Lion Tips”  with David Sparks for the iBookstore. He discusses all things “nerd” on his podcast,  Systematic. You can find Brett as “ttscoff” on  Twitter  and  App.net, and at his website,  brettterpstra.com.
