A MacVoices Group Update – Where You Can See Chuck at Macworld 2011

Chuck — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 14:00:00 +0000

The Road to Macworld is finally coming to an end…at the front door of Moscone West and at the start of Macworld 2011.

If you’re in San Francisco for the show, I hope you’ll stop by any or all of the sessions I’m participating in and say hello. The schedule includes:

Thursday at 5:15 PM – On the Macworld Live Stage on the show floor with other members of The Mac Roundtable. I’ll be acting as the host, so you’ll want to join us to see if I can keep Allison in line.

Friday at 12:00 PM – On the Macworld Live Stage for a panel discussion about “Parenting in the Age of the Internet.” This will be a terrific discussion for those who are trying to work through issues such as social network use, gaming, texting, and everything else our connected world has brought us. With kids and tech, what is too much…or not enough? We’ll explore those issues and more with a panel of technologist parents, including:

Tonya Engst – TidBITS and Take Control Books maven
Omaha Sternberg – The force behind iGame Radio
Christopher Breen – Macworld Senior Editor
Chuck La Tournois – The founder of RandomMaccess and contributor to The Mac Observer

Saturday at 10:30 AM – In the Drobo Booth, #453 doing a meet-and-greet with fans and friends, and talking about why I own three different Drobo models.

The rest of the show? I’ll be on the exhibit floor as much as possible taping interviews with exhibitors and Mac luminaries, attending some of the conference sessions and in general getting as much out of Macworld as possible. And of course, don’t forget the Final Cut Pro SuperMeet on Friday, and the parties every night.

I want to thank my sponsors, Drobo, Smile and Rogue Amoeba for their support and for making MacVoicesTV at Macworld possible.

If you can’t make it to San Francisco, fear not: I’ll be recording plenty of interviews to help you feel like you were there.

Hope to see you this week, and in the future on MacVoices, MacVoicesTV, MacNotables and The MacJury.

Chuck — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 17:00:00 +0000

Rounding the turn and heading down the final stretch on The Road to Macworld, featured artist Jonathan Mann talks about his daily creative regimen: creating a song or video each and every day. In his Macworld session, How I Write A Song A Day, Jonathan will share his tips and techniques, but with us, he explains how he discovered this demanding schedule helps keep him at his best…most of the time. Acknowledging that sometimes it is, “OK to suck,” Jonathan talks about some of his best known work and where it has taken him (hint: Steve Job’s “Antennagate” address), how he lives the creative life, and why there are too many love songs and not enough about everything else.

Going beyond just your home theater, iWaveit can control virtually anything that has remote capabilities. Anders gives us an overview of the hardware and software solution that lets you take advantage of pre-programed remotes, other users’ creations and even build your very own virtual remote to fit your equipment and how you use it.

MacVoices #1055: MacVoices at Macworld – Livescribe Adds More Functionality to the Pulse Smartpen

Chuck — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:30:00 +0000

In the Livescribe booth at Macworld 2010, Maureen Keating and Eric Petitt show off the latest enhancements to the Pulse Smartpen. How smart can a pen be? Eric takes us through both the basics, including both capturing notes and audio from whatever you are doing, transferring that information to your Mac and thirty apps that add even more functionality. New on the horizon is their iPhone app; Maureen explains how you can share Pulse Smartpen-generated materials to your iPhone via “pencasts,” and take advantage of the iPhone interface to manipulate the data.

MacVoices #1012: The Road to Macworld – John Welch Discusses Five IT-Related Sessions and the Value That Macworld Provides to Pros

Chuck — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 15:30:00 +0000

The Road to Macworld 2010 leads us to IT expert John Welch, who will be busy in San Francisco participating or leading five different conference sessions, including a two-day Power Tools session. John is a member of Macworld’s IT advisory team, and talks about what that means for attendees. Most, but not all, of his sessions are IT focused; we go through each one and cover what it will deliver, who should attend, and why at least one promises to be wildly entertaining. John also reveals who he’s afraid of at Macworld, how his view of the Mac universe is much different that most Mac users, and the many ways that Macworld delivers value to the IT professional and beyond.
