Hello Fellow Technophiles,
Halloween has come and gone. As you can see in the picture to the left I dressed up as a Trekkie which, as you faithful readers probably know, was not much of a stretch for me. I genuinely used to have glasses just like those until a mad scientist eye surgeon burned part of my cornea off with a laser and I already owned that vintage Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country tee shirt. My kid’s costume was also pretty much the outfit that he wears everyday: a baseball player. His grandmother bought him a Red Sox jersey and pants for his birthday a few weeks ago and we have struggled to get him to wear anything else.
I am looking forward to trying out the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. I use Logic Pro, Apple’s high-end audio production platform, and as a former sound engineer from the analog era I still like to turn dials and move faders by hand. While there are no actual sliders or knobs, the ability to physically control parameters is a little closer to the “real thing.” See Emily’s article below for more details on this cool new feature.
I also really love the darker Space Gray finish which will match my iPhone. No word on when the Bondi blue version will be released.
Thanks as always for reading Tech Tails!
