Were You at the Meeting Last Night?
If not, you missed an utterly fascinating presentation, and there weren’t many people in the audience who would disagree.

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:
Oh hey, my name is Zach Slootsky, I’m a photographer working in Toronto, but two years ago, like an idiot, I opened a restaurant called The Federal. Now I spend most of my time running it like a boss (literally) and devising systems that make me feel clever.
You can catch Zach’s complete story here: Zach Slootsky’s sweet iPhone setup.
