DeVry Mac User Group

Moving Forward

There is some changes to the management of DMUG: the group, spirit and passion that created this group is still there and both Co-Presidents feel they will lend themselves to move us in new exciting directions.

I, Ivan Barreda, will be Co-President of Outside DMUG operations. This means I will be the Leader of Meetup.com, the Art Institute and outside recruitment, partnerships and activities.

Ben Poole, will end up bieng Co-President of DeVry operations. He will be in charge of all meetings, recruitment and activities inside DeVry. He will be the DMUG spokesperson at DeVry events like Club Council and Club Days.

Some ideas we are throwing around are:
1) More meetings that work around more schedules instead of bieng locked to a DeVry Schedule.
2) A group with a stronger presence outside DeVry.

I apologize for the lack of meetings, I got the graduation and job hunting bugs and they can't seem to let go, as soon as I am cured I will move to scheduling meetings.

Taking the First Step in a Million More....

The sweat of 120 degree Phoenix summers, the drudgery of roommates and the dedication and sacrifice to get in assignments and grades is officially over. Tomorrow, I am a DeVry University Graduate, Bachelor of Science in Network and Communications Management.

Again, the first step in a Million More, I look forward to the next step in the journey.

Third Times the Charm - Photoshop CS3

Yes,

After all the commotion and outrage that Adobe would snub all Intel Mac users from enjoying Photoshop natively can now rejoice because the new (beta) version of Photoshop is here. What we want to do if be your guide to the new version, give you tips and tricks on all the new stuff there.

We will have a book giveaway, and food will be provided. I want to extend my apology for the last meetup, I was at the Microsoft Vista Launch Tour. There are many reasons for this, first and formost is that Microsoft is sponsoring our user group and I believe that the 2nd largest Mac developer (after Apple of course) and using thier software deserves support. Feel free to e-mail me or comment on my decision and I will be glad to go over it in detail.

Habitat for Humanity

Some of you know about thier work and some don't.

Thier work in the community is both an educational and rewarding experience. Just like Steve Jobs won over John Scully by saying (paraphrasing) would you rather sell sugar water to kids or change the world, this is again an oppoortunity to change the world.

A tribute to our Co-President Ben.

I think I am in Love....Again

Can a person fall in love with a phone? Oh yes, oh yes they can. You may ask what the first love was, it was my Macbook. The angels sang, the heavens parted, the sun shown bright in short it was an awesome day.

Yes, you have to sell your soul, I mean sign a 2-year contract with Cingular to do it (well not really). It doesn't work off of kewl new 3G or 4G technology but old antiquated 2G to 2.5G technology because of EDGE. It is expensive (500 and 600 dollars repectively) even after the contract and has relatively small storage space (4GB and 8GB respectively).

After all the bad and good around it, I only have one question. Where do I get it?
