Blogs, Wikis and MobileMe!


Blogging, Wikis and MobileMeOn Wednesday, July 2nd, the SDMUG presenters will give us a taste of what the cutting edge offers. Blogs, wikis, and shared workspaces. Everyone talks about them, but can they really make your life better?

Daniel Novak, M.A., will talk about ways to use these powerful technologies to stay in touch with family and friends, organize your media and memories, and to engage in new, exciting projects. (Side note: Even the US Supreme Court uses a blog to announce its decisions!)

June 4 General Meeting:
Fred Greaves: Photographer, Journalist, Artist, Instructor


Fred Greaves PhotographyOn Wednesday, June 4th, the SDMUG hosts a very special presenter. Many will recognize his name, and most have already seen his work in newspapers, magazines and feature articles worldwide. Fred Greaves is passionate about communicating through his photography. Whether in the middle of a raging wildfire, a location shoot or in the studio, this 19-year veteran's eye has captured images for a vast number of notable clients.

Fred has a well earned reputation for turning adverse situations into art and for delivering beautiful photographs in the most pressure packed environments. When Fred isn't looking through the lens, he's made time to teach at UCSD and Point Loma Nazarene as well as being a sponsored instructor for Panasonic's Digital Photo Academy.

Being a  long time Apple computer user, Fred will share:
• The software he uses in his workflow and why he selected it.
• What hardware he uses: cameras, computer, flash memory, readers, modems
• How he gets his images from the field to the newsrooms within minutes
• What format image to use for different tasks
• How he archives his images
• Some of his photographic work and experiences.
• Answer questions from the audience.

General Meeting Notes: April 7th, 2004


Emma J. Grant from Product Planner for Microsoft Mac BU was the presenter for this month’s general meeting. Her presentation was on Microsoft Office 2004 and its new features. She began explaining how Entourage can help you to manage all your contacts, calendar items, tasks, notes and multiple e-mail accounts in one three pane view. She also explained you can customize your information and group it into color coded categories for quick reference both on-line and off-line. Best of all, Entourage can now do things like address word documents and set due dates and reminders. Entourage will now also let you set a preference to delete your mail in one click instead of the older Entourage that sent your mail to a deleted box and then you had to delete a second time to get rid of it. Entourage also has a new Junk Mail filter that is reported to be much better than the old Entourage Junk Mail filter.
