  3. Hi Ron,
    Thought I saw you at the Coulton show but I wasn’t sure. Then I saw your tweets. Great show. Awesomely fun.

    We’ve never met but I’m a big fan of your book and always enjoy hearing you on TWIM, etc.

    Have a great day.

  4. Ron, so what do you think Apple’s plan to do with the defunct Shake?

  5. I’d be surprised if Apple does much of anything with Shake, other than continue to sell it as-is.
