Summary: <p>In homage to Patrick Rhone and Myke Hurley of the Enough podcast “The Mikes” have created a new series to complement Enough’s “How Bare Is Your Air” episodes. While “How Bare Is Your Air” challenges Mac geeks to pare down their digital life to fit in the confines of a 64GB, 11” MacBook Air, “How Packed Is Your Mac” forces participants to share a secret shame. It asks them to tell the truth and own up to all of apps that live on their computers. For the second episode of “How Packed Is Your Mac?”, Michael Schechter opens up his applications folder and attempts to crap-rationalize many of the the over 80 applications currently living within.</p> <p></p><h2>What Mikes Are Drinking</h2> <ul> <li>Mike Vardy - <a href="http://www.bulleitbourbon.com/home.aspx">Bulleit Bourbon</a> </li> <li>Michael Schechter - <a href="http://sixpoint.com/blog/?p=1007">Sixpoint Resin</a> </li> </ul><p></p><h2>Find “The Mikes”</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://vardy.me/">Vardy.me</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/mikevardy">Connect with Mike Vardy on Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/">A Better Mess</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/mschechter">Connect with Michael Schechter on Twitter</a></li> </ul><p></p><h2>What’s In Michael Schechter’s Mac?</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html">LaunchBar</a></li> <li><a href="http://smilesoftware.com/TextExpander/">TextExpander: Mac Typing Shortcut Utility</a></li> <li><a href="http://flexibits.com/">Fantastical</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/">Keyboard Maestro: Work Faster with Macros</a></li> <li><a href="http://brettterpstra.com/project/nvalt/">nvALT 2.1 - Notational Velocity Fork</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.evernote.com/">Evernote</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnifocus/">OmniFocus for Mac</a></li> <li><a href="http://bywordapp.com/">Byword • A Simple Text Editor for Mac</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.telestream.net/screen-flow/">Screencasting Software - ScreenFlow</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php">Scrivener</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mindnode.com/">MindNode</a></li> <li><a href="http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/">Acorn, a great Mac image editor.</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html">SuperDuper!</a></li> <li><a href="http://mailplaneapp.com/new_index">Mailplane - Gmail on the Mac</a></li> <li><a href="http://hootsuite.com/dashboard">HootSuite</a></li> </ul><p></p><h2>Michael’s Links</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/download-dropbox-now-thank-me-later%E2%80%A6/">Download Dropbox Now, Thank Me Later… | BetterMess.com</a></li> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/how-get-all-of-your-crap-into-omnifocus/">How to get all of your crap into OmniFocus</a></li> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/lazymarkdown/">How A Lazy Person Writes In Markdown</a></li> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/overcoming-your-mess-of-a-desktop/">Overcoming Your Mess Of A Desktop</a></li> <li><a href="http://bettermess.com/mind-maps-scrivener/">Mind Maps and Scrivener: It’s Easier Than It Looks</a></li> </ul><p></p><h2>The Work Of Others</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.70decibels.com/enough/">70Decibels - Enough Podcast</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/patrickrhone">Patrick Rhone on Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/imyke">Myke Hurley on Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="http://macpowerusers.com/2009/07/mpu-007-launchbar-blackbelt/">LaunchBar Blackbelt « Mac Power Users</a></li> </ul><p><a href="http://www.buzzsprout.com/5438/42289-episode-4-how-packed-is-michael-schechter-s-mac.mp3">Download</a></p> <p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mikes-on-mics/id498796697">Subscribe in iTunes</a></p>
