Anthony’s Mac Labs and Personal Blog

Since anyone who read my post detailing my health journey was able to find this blog at least once, I decided that this would be a good place to provide updates.

It’s been over two weeks since I had the pleasure of co-presenting with James “Sorry James” Smith a half-day workshop on AutoPkg at X World in Melbourne, Australia.
