The latest episode of Mac Power Users is live. Gabe Weatherhead joins us to talk about his months-long experiment with the iPad Pro. We also tackle listener questions on dealing with spam, scheduling appointments, hard drive best practices, finding deals, traveling with a Mac, and Katie shares her thoughts on Star Trek Discovery.
It’s been a few years since we did any merchandise at the Mac Power Users so we’ve teamed up with the Cotton Bureau on these really great looking hoodies and shirts. The hoodie features an embroidered MPU Battery logo and can keep you warm through the winter. The zipper was at my specific request because nobody likes to wrestle themselves out of a pull-over hoodie. The T-shirt also features the MPU Battery, but its bigger and it glows in the dark. That’s right. My podcast officially has a glow-in-the-dark shirt. According to 8-year-old me, I’ve officially made it.
We really wanted these products to be of good quality and I think Cotton Bureau’s going to really deliver. There’s a pretty short window here. Sales end December 3, so place your orders now.
This week’s episode of the Mac Power Users is our annual gift guide. Katie and I looked high and low this year and we came up with some great picks. We also had some great ideas from the community and added those as well. The worst part of this episode (for me) is where I say confidently that I think the HomePod will ship in December. Apparently, Apple disagrees with that optimism.

This week on the Mac Power Users app developer and business owner David “Underscore” Smith joins us to share his favorite hardware, software, and workflows. David is truly an “indie” developer and figured out some workflows that could really help anyone trying to make a go of it.
We’ve been talking off-and-on about home automation on the Mac Power Users for a few years now. This week, we invited home automation professional Robert Spivack and dug deep on home automation. There is lots of good stuff in here about the gear that works and where all of this is heading.
It’s time to clear out the big questions list again. In this episode, we cover strategy for buying an iPhone X, where we stand with AppleCare, the status of our dongles, iPhone storage options, presenting, the best voice-in-a-can solutions, and how we’re using social media.
It seems like we just recorded our first show of the Mac Power Users a few days ago yet this week we released episode 400. Crazy. This episode is all about four things. Katie and I picked four of our favorite things in multiple tech categories of hardware and software. There are some gems in there. Also, since we hit episode 400, we went back to our roots with the theme music and it sounds great.
This week, our original workflow guest, Merlin Mann, returns to the show to share how he’s getting so much work done on the iPad these days and the other bits of technology that make him happy.
