Hey, did I mention I’m speaking at Macstock in July? Yeah, I did. The speaker lineup is finalized, and it’s great. There are a couple of old friends of mine speaking that I’m excited to both hear and catch up with: App Camp For Girls founder Jean MacDonald and TUAW alum Kelly Guimont. You can also catch informative and entertaining talks from keynote speaker Bob LeVitus (a.k.a. Dr. Mac), Adam Christianson, Dave Ginsburg, Mike Schmitz, Chuck Joiner, Guy Serle, Tim Robertson…

Curio 12 is out today with a metric ton of new features, and a few that make it an especially exciting update for me. I’ve been testing the beta for just a couple weeks now, but have found plenty of the delight I’ve come to expect with every new release. George Browning keeps setting a high bar for himself…

I spent Sunday morning doing my annual cable purge and sort. That plus cleaning out unused apps on my Mac and iOS devices is basically my Spring Cleaning for Nerds.
