Wrapping up the show that was Macworld/iWorld 2014

A big iBeacons talk with Tim Perfitt of Twocanoes

Long time listeners of Mac OS Ken probably know what’s about to happen. Ken has this habit of thinking he can get everything done the day before traveling as if it were a normal day. It is - of course - not a normal day, and thus he does not get everything done. Take for example, today’s cavalcade of Apple news and news related to Apple news. That did not get done. There is much to look forward two, however. Mostly interviews with vendors, fellow podcasters, and other people with things to say from Mack world/eye World 2014.  Apologies for today. We will see what tomorrow brings tomorrow.

Don’t freak out. While there is probably Apple news and news related to Apple news today, there is no episode of Mac OS Ken. It was Ken’s birthday on Sunday, and he decided to take the day off. Since a Monday episode of Mac OS Ken means a Sunday full of writing and recording… and since he took Sunday off… you see where this is going. Look for a bonus size edition of Mac OS Ken on Tuesday. In the meantime, assume that Apple will have stayed afloat for a full 72 hours without a new podcast about it.
