Feeling Brave and Bold?
Be a beta tester for Apple. Really. From Macworld:
Ever dreamed of an opportunity to try out new versions of OS X before they’re released, but without having to pony up the $99 to become a registered developer? Well, that opportunity’s here: On Tuesday, Apple announced a new initiative, the OS X Beta Seed Program.
As part of the Beta Seed Program, users can register to receive pre-release versions of OS X, starting with OS X 10.9.3, which is available beginning on Tuesday. By trying out the new software and providing feedback to Apple, users can help shape the direction of the company’s desktop computer OS.…

Get Caffiene-ated!
From Macworld:
Unlimited coffee!

Upon further review, caffiene-ation will only work in New York City… 🙁 The rest of the apps look rather interesting, though; check ’em out: This Week in iOS Apps: Unlimited coffee! (if anyone stumbles across the “call a cab” app, let me know).

Were You at the Meeting Last Night?
If not, you missed a preeeety interesting show!
At Coco’s, we tried to order burgers formerly on the menu and got heavy into the laws of physics. The logic stick also made an appearance…
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

Who are you and what do you do?
At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we 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:
Dr. Drang: consulting engineer by day, scripter/blogger by night, benevolent snowman on Twitter.
You can catch Dr Drang’s complete story here: Dr Drang’s sweet Mac setup.
“Back issues” can be found here: Sweet Setup Interview.
