Mac Track (Advanced)
Friday, March 28, 2014, 3:45pm-4:45pm

Bring some extra hair gel or spray, because you're going to be blown away by the shock and awe and pure white-light power of the ability of your Mac to automate tasks and streamline the creation of documents. Learn about how you can use tools built into OSX -- like automator and apple scripts -- as well as third-party solutions -- such as Hazel and Default Folder X -- to streamline your practice and to bring out the Ghost in your Mac.
