Were You at the Meeting Last Night?

Posted on July 16, 2019 by SGVAUG BlogMaster

If not, a totally gobsmacking presentation on the new iMac Pro and Apple Watch (and iOS and MacOS), and too much cool stuff in Apps & Traps.

At Conrad’s, cameras, big TVs, the Paul McCartney concert at Dodger Stadium, a tiny chicken restaurant in Tokyo, and AMC financial woes dominated the conversations.

That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

Were You at the Meeting Last Night?

Posted on June 18, 2019 by SGVAUG BlogMaster

If not, you missed the latest REALLY cool Apple announcements, and lots of Apps and Traps stuff you need to know.

At Conrad’s, we dealt with dealing with old computer equipment and OSes, dealing with the FCC, old wireless mics, and adopting homeless kittens.

That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

Who Are You and What Do You Do

Posted on March 18, 2019 by SGVAUG BlogMaster

At The Sweet Setup:

Every week we {aim to} post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.

Today’s victim, er, interviewee:

Hey everyone, I’m Alex Tai! I’m currently a student studying Computer Engineering at Santa Clara University. I really like to work and collaborate with others on ideas and learn new things especially surrounding technology. You can also find me on Instagram, LinkedIn, and GitHub.

You can catch Alex’s complete story here: Alex Tai’s Mac and iPhone setup .
