MacVoices #19183: Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus On Web Site Tools, Jony Ive, and New Book Projects


Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus is a brave man…brave enough to do a podcast during a thunderstorm! While the storm rages, Bob talks about his new book projects, his thoughts on the new beta OS’s from Apple, how Jony Ive’s departure will affect product design going forward, and some of the third-party services he uses to operate his web site, WorkingSmarterForMacUsers.com.
