Join Me Live for Macstock VI’s April Updates!
I mentioned to someone the other week that, unlike previous years, Macstock in 2022 was taking “shuffle steps” toward an in person event this summer, and then I’d start running.
Well, that running is just about to begin!
I just have a few more “ducks” to line up in a row before that happens, but we’re definitely close enough to sprinting season that next week’s April live stream will have a lot of ground to cover!
So let’s hang out next week for my latest updates on Macstock VI!
Here’s what I’m planning to share:
- The format of Macstock Weekend’s Schedule
- A Surprise Change to Our Talk’s Themes (yes, plural!)
- Hotel Block Reservation Links
- Quick Safety Protocol Update
- And, Yes, the Start of Macstock VI Ticket Sales! Woo hoo!
As we get closer to Macstock weekend and the rest of those Quacking Ducks (quack, quack!) start lining up, I’ll begin to dig deeper into everything you need to know about Macstock VI — like our confirmed line up of talk topics!

Is everyone recovered from Apple’s announcements yesterday?? I’m already hearing from friends who’ve pre-ordered their Mac Studio! I’m so jealous — but I’ve also started saving my pennies! Only 230,000 to go (it might be a while).

Recorded February 8th, 2022*
I take a look at local COVID-19 statistics, share an overview of the Macstock in 2022 survey results, discuss why Macstock is moving away from years in the name, give the latest updates from Macstock’s venue, and we’ll close out with some important protocol and programming updates for Macstock VI.
Sitting in with me this time is Chuck Joiner of MacVoices!
