Apple TV Go

My friend and podcast co-host Sigmund Judge, writing at MacStories:

Somewhere in the Apple TV multiverse, there was a USB-C powered device that I could carry with me for quick reference, whether at Apple Park or a south London coffee shop during my writing process for last year’s tvOS review. Somewhere, there was an iPad-like device that could run tvOS, offering a superior software alternative to the plentiful supply of affordable, battery-powered Android portable projectors…

I needed to become the hero of my own story and create the on-the-go tvOS workstation I envisioned by braving the world of hardware modification and building my very own Apple TV Go.

What Sigmund has created – a portable tvOS workstation incorporating a modified Apple TV, an iPad Pro, a custom Magic Keyboard, Velcro, and much more – is so wonderfully out-of-this-world, you just have to read about it to believe it. Or if you prefer, you can listen to the latest episode of Magic Rays of Light, where we discuss it in audio form.

It was a pleasure getting to help bring Sigmund’s Apple TV Go story to the world in a small way. If you spend much time with him, you’re going to be challenged to think creatively and start making the change you want to see. That’s what this story reflects to me – in addition to an awesome bit of custom tech, of course – so I hope you’ll give it a read.
