Former “Mac Genius” Tony Edwards has launched the not-so-serious “Church of Mac,” a “spiritual home for computer users of all persuasions seeking irreverent humor as well as Apple news and tips.”
At the site, Edwards portrays the fictional character, the Reverend Doctor Bobby Newton, whom he describes as “a mash-up of Stephen Colbert, Dr. Michael Beckwith (of Oprah fame) and The Onion.”
Edwards’ web site features a series of video podcasts, in which “Dr. Bobby” gives computer advice to “brothers and sisters in Apple,” leads them in the recitation of “Steve’s Prayer” and invites Mac users worldwide to sing Apple hymns with “The Church of Mac Gospel Karaoke.” The vodcasts are freely available at the iTunes Store.
Before working for Apple, Edwards had a career in show business as an actor, stand-up comedian and writer. He has appeared in such TV shows as Seinfeld, Roseanne and Family Matters. His feature film appearances include Starman, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Hollywood Shuffle and Hot Shots! Part Deux.
“The Church of Mac” is the. Video “iPodcasts” by the spiritual leader and technological guide of “The Church of Mac”, The Reverend Doctor Bobby Newton, are freely available at the iTunes Store, or on the “The Church of Mac” website.
