Shannon Jean and I have been doing our Small Business Show podcast for the better part of this year. I always learn something each episode, either from Shannon or from our guests. This week, Digistor’s Brian Friss joined us for what might have been the most quote-packed episode we’ve ever produced. Listen today to hear […]

Sometimes my co-host, Paul, is in a chatty mood with his own stories to tell, and sometimes he’s inquisitive, playing the role of interviewer. Last night saw an abundance of the latter as Paul really got me to open up about all sorts of things. From the innocent topic of matched vs. traditional grip to […]

This week’s MGG is up. John F. Braun and I had a good show today, with lots of interaction from the chat room that really enhanced the show, at least from my perspective. I’m always happy when folks can provide that real-time feedback to correct a tech issue or add a detail, but today’s interactions […]

I’ve heard a lot of comments lately saying something along the lines of, “Coin, Plastc and Wocket are too late! Apple Pay is the way of the future!” To anyone who shares this sentiment I ask a simple question: Where do you shop?  I have yet to be able to buy gasoline with Apple Pay […]

Today John and I celebrated our tenth anniversary of publishing Mac Geek Gab. The show has both changed quite a bit over the years and also stayed true to the goal of having fun while helping and informing our listeners.  We’ve had so many wins over the past decade I couldn’t possibly begin to count […]

Joe Rogan arguing why everyone should float in an isolation tank: If the tank was something where it was a machine an you would have to strap yourself in and you had to take a course where you would learn how to get to the center of yur consciousness where your body and your mind […]

This morning I gave the keynote speech at the Podcast New England conference. It also happens that today is exactly the 10th anniversary of us recording the very first Mac Geek Gab episode (listen if you must to that first show, but consider yourself warned: it was our first!). Thus, “10 Lessons from 10 years of Podcasting” seemed […]

Curious how many of you can reliably hear any difference here? It’s interesting taking listening tests using tracks with which I’m not intimately familiar, even testing with an Audioengine D1 DAC and either great speakers or great headphones. Using this same setup I certainly occasionally notice a difference between 128kbps MP3 and lossless audio when listening at my […]

I had to admonish a youth hockey referee today (I took his picture since he wouldn’t give me his name). It’s rare that this happens, but it happens probably once per year. It could be stopped, but USA Hockey is clearly not interested in solving this problem they have. Youth hockey referees are out there […]

I found out today that the sheet-music-oriented community site, PianoFiles, announced that they will shut down in December. I’m new to PianoFiles, having only joined earlier this year, but it’s been a huge resource for me already. As some of you may remember I got back into playing (drums, mostly) in musical theater pits this year, and […]
