Were You at the Meeting Last Night?

If not, you missed some seriously bad humor (Apps & Traps), a seriously frightening mouse pointer (El Capitan), and Marilyn in disguise.

At Coco’s, we touched on Star Wars, Star Trek, various genres of music and performers, and which food items Coco’s was out of.

That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

Who are you and what do you do?

At The Sweet Setup:

Every week we try to post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.

Today’s victim, er, interviewee:

We are Foojee! Foojee is a team of Apple Consultants operating out of Atlanta and Nashville. We help organizations and schools build rock-solid solutions with their Apple IT.

Today’s victim, er, interviewee:

I’m David Robert Wright. I wear a lot of different hats. Right now, the main two I’m focused on are my church internship working toward becoming a pastor, and working as a private vocal instructor and performing musician. I also enjoy photography quite a bit, and get paid for the occasional gig–all my gear has been paid for over the years I’ve owned it.

Hi, my name is Koen Adams. I work and live in Belgium as a freelance cartographer and graphic designer, and I am also running One Stop Map. This is an online shop for printable and editable vector maps. I have been doing this kind of work for more than 20 years now and I am always on the hunt for the right tools to make my work both better and faster, and easier to accomplish.

Actually, my sweetest setup of all time would definitely be the one that I have with my wife and my two wonderful children, but I am here to talk Mac    🙂
