MEETING TOPIC & DESCRIPTION: How the Cool Kids Do Spreadsheets
——————————————————————————————————————
ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: Allison Sheridan
Allison Sheridan started podcasting in May 2005, just 7 months after podcasting was invented. After more than 20 years, her flagship show, the NosillaCast Podcast, is the longest-running Apple-centric podcast. In the NosillaCast, she reviews tech products with an EVER so slight Apple bias, weaving accessibility throughout her content.
She also co-hosts the Programming By Stealth podcast, where Bart Busschots teaches the audience to program through an audio podcast (with Bart’s tutorial shownotes).
She hosts Chit Chat Across the Pond, which currently comes out at least once a month, with Adam Engst of TidBITS as her most frequent guest.
She’s a founding speaker at Macstock Conference every year outside Chicago, and a frequent guest on the Daily Tech News Show and Clockwise podcasts. She is also a video screencast tutor for the subscription service ScreenCastsONLINE.
She and her husband, Steve, produce video interviews from trade shows such as CES and CSUN’s Assistive Tech conference.
She’s an avid exerciser, walking about 7 miles a day, and enjoys time with their dog Kepler and two cats, Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper. Yes, their pets are all named after scientists!
