Mac Power users, episode 604, workflows with Jay Miller.

Hello everyone, this is David Sparks today on the Mac Power users. Steven Hackett can't be here

today. He's unavailable, but that's okay. We have a guest today. Welcome to the show, Jay Miller.

So happy to be here. This is podcasting dreams come true.

Well, Jay, I've actually interviewed you a couple of times as on my other shows, and I just thought

the Mac Power users audience needed to hear from you. Just to do a little bit of an introduction,

Jay is where's many hats. He's a developer advocate by trade. That's how he pays for his shoes.

So as a result, he gives a lot of conference talks, YouTube videos, and does a lot of work with

communication. And as a result, he's got some really great ideas on how to use his Mac for that

stuff. He also knows his way around the terminal and automation, and he's a podcaster,

new to the relay network with our friend Kathy Campbell. They've got a great new show called

Condoit, which is on Relay. Just go to Relay.fm slash Condoit. So Jay, number one, I'm super happy

to have you in the relay family. And number two, really glad to have you on the show.

Yeah, I've always dreamed of owning a Mac as a kid. And then once I was old enough to get my own

Apple products, naturally, I just kind of move that way. And I think I've been doing that for

the last decade and a half now. So not only do I feel older than I probably should, but

hopefully I've learned something that I can share with the community.

Yeah, I know. Sometimes people ask me like, how come you didn't get the original Mac? And

the reason was I was in high school and it cost $3,000. And that was like, that was like, I don't know,

$7,000 with today's money. I don't know. It was a lot of money. I had a used Apple 2,

and then it took me several years to get into a Mac because they were expensive. But I get it

wanting to own one of these computers and finally getting into the ecosystem.
