In This Episode:
Continuing our series inspired by stock iOS apps, we tackle messaging and how our human brains can't handle it. Sean explores the world of sensors and the additional contextual information they provide, while Sam is obsessed with emoji. We get deep with Bryan and how we are constantly connected. We don't mean to make you depressed, but it might happen. Oh, and Pokémon.

Episode 008: eBooks, with Connor Mason
We will have our first guest on the show, Connor Mason!
He’s a copywriter at Punchkick Interactive in Chicago, and he’s actually written two eBooks within the past year (iOS 8 in Context and CarPlay for AutoMakers), so we couldn’t think of a better person to help us tackle our next topic: eBooks.
