I’ve decided to spin off Chit Chat Across the Pond as its own show, so stay tuned for a new feed. Macphun releases new extensions for Photos, Photoshop (Elements), Lightroom, Pixelmator and more. I take a deep dive into Intensify from Macphun for only $15 in the Mac App Store. On this week’s Chit Chat […]

I’m Going to Spin off Chit Chat Across the Pond
I’ve been married to the same man for 31 years, worked for the same company for 35 years, lived in the same house for 25 years, gone to the same hair dresser for 20 years, been doing this podcast for 10 years. Heck, the MUSIC hasn’t even changed on the podcast in all that time! […]

As Bart says, I took one for the team when I jumped headfirst into the deep end of Photos, abandoning Aperture. I knew I’d be limited on what I could do but I was willing to suffer because a) I really wanted all my photos everywhere, and b) because I love new software more than […]

This article is time sensitive so jump to the bottom line if you don’t have time to read the whole thing right this minute. Otherwise, indulge me as I get to the point in my normal thorough manner. A couple weeks ago Bob Correa did a great Clarify tutorial showing how to enable the new […]

#544 Not Happy with Apple, Is it a Good Deal to Get a New iPhone Every Year, Encrypted Backups, Programming by Stealth Introduction
I am NOT happy with my Apple products this week. From an iPhone that had to be restored to factory settings, to an iPad with a dying battery down to an Apple Watch that restarted in German, it’s not been a happy week. I try to answer the question of whether these new plans by […]

There’s been a lot of talk lately about these new phone plans in the United States where you can pay a monthly fee and get the new hotness every year when Apple (or I suppose Samsung or Microsoft) comes out with their new devices. There are some huge advantages to these plans and I’d like […]

Apple and I are NOT on good speaking terms right now. I was looking at my iPhone the other day and it spontaneously rebooted. I’m not talking about one of those pesky little Springboard reboots where it comes right back, I mean a fun scale reboot. This explained something I’d seen on the phone recently. […]

NosillaCast News Improvement – Part Two (because I didn’t fix it right the first time). Third time’s a charm hopefully as I got yet another replacement MacBook, and I walk through the first apps I load on a new Mac. Check the blog post for all the links to what I describe. Then learn the […]
Continue readingYour First Five Apps
This week I asked my Twitter, G+ and Facebook followers to answer this question: “What are the first five apps you load on a new Mac?” This wasn’t necessarily their favorite apps but the first five they would need. I was overwhelmed with the number of responses, and sadly Steve Harris’ response was after the […]

Dave Gerlits sent me this email: Allison, Hi there. I’m taking you at your word about giving you feedback. On a recent show you talked about one of your listers (Darren) speaking up about the text on the email and how hard it is to read. You responded and said that you had fixed the […]
