If not, you missed great singing, hysterical lyrics, and some serious, ever-so-useful discussion.
At Conrads, lovers vs haters of cucmbers and beets, train doors in Seattle, politics, high-density sleeping quarters in Japan, and chads as confetti made their way around the table. Gautam did not, however.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!
At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we try 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:

Apps & Traps – Our essential monthly feature on interesting new products and services for iOS and OS X, brought to you by Dave Whitby.
appleSTEMs – Warren James presents interesting Apple science, technology, engineering, and math software.
appleCore – Everyone says that iOS and macOS are intuitive and easy to use. If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Although iOS and macOS are easy to use after you’ve learned how to use them, actually learning to use them can be a bit confusing. Often, basic things are not explained because it is assumed that you already know them. We all know that that’s not always the case. So now the SGVAUG presents an on-going series of short talks about the core elements of iOS and macOS so that soon, you’ll be able to tell everyone, “Of course iOS and macOS are intuitively obvious”.
Tonight’s appleCore will discuss how to organize your e-mail into folders and use rules to get your mail to the right place.

If not, you must not be a party animal. The rest of us are, and a fine time was had!
At Conrads, swing-axle Jeeps, winter revenge in Chicago, Area 51, charging electronic devices by just walking, and Christmas carols (of course!) made their ways around the table.

Hi! My name is Asier G. Morato and I’m the chief editor of El Imperdible, a lifestyle website from Spain that talks about shopping, culture, travel, and gastronomy. Its ’s a young and small business, so I need to stay on top of it all day.
In a typical day I write, shoot and edit photos, talk with our collaborators and sponsors, and keep an eye on the feedback of our readers. Sometimes I also take some freelance work as a ghostwriter for some companies that need help with their blogs.
