MacSparky Screencasts

Hello Friends,

I’ve got a new feed through iTunes allowing me to publish in the AppleTV format. That means this feed will be closing down so make sure to switch to the new one. You can do that by:

1. heading over to http://macsparky.libsyn.com, or 2. heading over to http://www.macsparky.com, or 3. log into itunes and search “macsparky screencasts”. The new feed is the one with episode 10.

See you there! David
