Mac Power users episode 593. It's all based on stickies with Paul Cafassus.

Hello everyone, this is David Sparks. I am joined by my co-host, Mr. Steven Hackett. How are you today, Steven?

I'm good, David. How are you?

I'm great. Did you get any sleep after WWDC? Because I felt like you were running pretty hard there.

Not as much as I would like, but that's okay.

It was a great week and a lot of good news. Thanks for everyone for the nice words about

There was a poem by a poet named Peter Virich, and there's a line, it's a poem called Persephone

in the Old Poet, and there's a line, what is the line exactly? He's discussing evolution,

and it's the Rogue Amoeba that's split into, and it's basically talking about the origin of

all of existence on Earth anyway. And that phrase always jumped out to me.

That is surprisingly deeper than I expected.

I thank you. Good on you, man. I name a lot of companies because of my day job, and
