MacVoicesTV #901: Download

MacVoices adds video with the brand new MacVoicesTV! The MacVoices episodes will be posted here and on the MacVoices feed only until the new show is listed in the iTunes Store, but you can still subscribe now using the RSS link on the new site dedicated to that show, MacVoices.TV.

MacVoicesTV premiers with host Chuck Joiner providing some background on why a video show joins the ranks of The MacVoices’ Group’s productions, and a real-world experience with a bad battery.

MacVoices‘ host and producer Chuck Joiner has several activities and events scheduled for Macworld Conference & Expo, and invites you to stop by and say hello.

Wednesday will start early, with MacVoices once again taping the presentations at the
Adobe User Group & Professional Association Breakfast.

Then, Chuck will be in the Other World Computing booth, #2218 at 11:30, to tape a MacVoices session with Chris Haeffner of OWC on the topic of RAID.

Wearing his other hat as editor of The MUG Center on Wednesday afternoon, Chuck will be a guest in the User Group Lounge, Room 250 on the Mezzanine level of Moscone South to deliver a presentation on Evolving Your Mac User Group. Whether you are a MUG leader, member, or just curious, you’re invited.

Later on Wednesday, at 4 PM, Chuck join other members of The MacRoundable for a group discussion of everything making news at Macworld Conference and Expo. The event will be held in the Macworld Learning Center Booth, #3036, in the North Hall of Moscone.

While not one of his sessions, Chuck encourages all listeners to show up for Paul Kent’s Town Hall Meeting on the future of Macworld Expo. You can hear Paul talk about what he hopes to accomplish in this session on MacVoices #8152. This is important, people. Plan to attend. (NOTE: Since that interview was recorded, the date was changed to Wednesday, so mark your calendars accordingly.)

On Thursday, Chuck will be back in the Other World Computing booth, #2218, with Chris Haeffner, this time to discuss video on the Mac.

Friday will find Chuck in the VMWare Fusion booth to tape a presentation by Joe Kissel, the author of Take Control of VMWare Fusion, on that very subject.

The rest of the time? Look for Chuck on the Expo show floor, interviewing vendors, speakers and more to bring the very best of Expo to you.

As we arrive at the end of The Road to Macworld, we consider the crossing, and sometimes clashing, intersection of new media, old media, distribution options and the future of it all with Arthur Greenwald, TV producer, Contributing Editor for TVNewsday and industry consultant, and Daisy Whitney, writer for TV Week and host of New Media Minute. The “TV, Mobile TV and the iPhone” session and “So You Want to Sell Your Idea to Television?” Birds-of-a-Feather meeting at Expo will focus on these compelling and important subjects, and Arthur and Daisy talk about who will be joining them to make sense of it all, and how consumer preference, funding, portability, device loyalty and more are affecting how you will consume video.
