This week I got to join Alex Cox and Matthew Cassinelli on Supercomputer where we got into the weeds of automation, especially on how I use Drafts. We also looked at using AirTable and Zapier and some of the many possibilities available to us with these amazing tools.

As well as a meet up before WWDC in Orange County, David and I are hosting a meetup at WWDC - Tuesday lunchtime to be specific! We don't have the precise location nailed down yet (we'd like to meet outside) so make sure to keep an eye out for updates on this event! As well as David and myself, Alex Cox and Matthew Cassinelli of Supercomputer, and Simon Støvring developer of Scriptable will be there! If you're around we'd love to meet you and say hello.

David and I are hosting a meet up in Orange County, California before we head up to WWDC - the exact date, time, and location are yet to be determined, but it will be on either Friday May 31st, or Saturday June 1st. We hope to see many people there!

In episode 20 of Automators we were joined by the wonderful Brett Terpstra, and dove deep into how he got started with automation. I was personally fascinated by the extra keyboards and the Leap Motion he uses to control his Mac.

Drafts is one of my most frequently used applications on iOS and I'm honoured to have been one of the beta testers for the Mac version. If you're interested in my thoughts then I wrote a whole review over on MacStories.

In episode 19 of Automators David and I dive into recent updates to Shortcuts.

Apparently it's the season where everyone speculates on what might be coming at WWDC, while I'm personally hoping for new iMacs on the hardware front, there's a few things that I could see benefitting us on the software front, so just in case Craig's reading - I've been on my best behaviour this year ;).

On episode 18 of Automators David and I interviewed John Siracusa, web developer, Perl fan, and former reviewer of Mac OS X (as it was then) for Ars Technica. John was a wonderful guest on the show - we talked about what automation he does, and doesn't do - as well as the how and the why! Like many of our listeners John is very much a Mac first user - I hope you enjoy the show!

Episode 17 of Automators comes to you live from PodCon!
