There’s a big promotion at Cotton Bureau that ends tomorrow. As part of the promotion, we agreed to put some of our MPU merchandise back up for sale. We really weren’t planning on selling these again but the folks at Cotton Bureau asked and it looked kind of fun so we agreed.

So if you’d like an MPU hoodie or t-shirt, now’s the time. They are also giving away some pretty cool technology so you may end up with a lot more than a t-shirt.

In this episode, we launch the new MPU Discourse community and talk about Siri Shortcuts. Katie got a HomePod. I share my thoughts on the iOS Beta and my recent visit to Apple Park. We also tackle listener questions about messages in the cloud, iPad accessories, and kids in college.
