Introducing the Utah Apple Users Group

wade — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:57:36 +0000

I am pleased to announce the formation of a new local users group: The Utah Apple Users Group. We are a group of technophiles that use—and even cherish—products designed by Apple in California. We mainly exist simply as a mailing list where we converse and assist each other.

The state currently has two other related user groups—the BYU Macintosh Users Group and the Utah Macintosh Users Group—but both are affiliated with universities and thus governed by external policies and politics.They are also Macintosh groups, whereas this group covers all things Apple; and, as you are probably aware, Apple has recently expanded it’s product line in significant areas other than their Macintosh computer. UMUG also doesn’t have a mailing list and their forum has been offline for a long time. So, wether you’re a photographer using Aperture, a home theater nut hooking up your Apple TV, an entrepreneur using an iPhone, or a novice with a new iPod, jump on our mailing list and lets chat. We want everyone to feel welcome wether you are a student, a professional, or anyone else.

We do not plan on coordinating any events; we’re going to keep this simple. A website will be coming soon with syndicated news and events and we have an IRC channel for chatting in real time. Join the mailing list by sending an email to utahapple-subscribe@utahapple.org.

The text of this book

wade — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 03:10:27 +0000

I was reading a story to my daughter this evening and noticed that within the copyright information inside the front cover, the author has chosen to include information about the typeface used. I wish all books had this information.

If you’re interested, the book is Gossie by Olivier Dunrea and it’s a wonderful book.

Salt Lake Community College recruiting site

Richter7 has just completed a set of marketing sites for Salt Lake Community College. I think that they are great. They are refreshing, simple, clean, and effective. I love the illustrations and the way that they are incorporated into the interface.

Presenters and ideas needed for summer gatherings

Our presenter for our June gathering is not going to be able to make it. This leaves us with an empty calendar. What topics would like to have presentations on? what places you would like to visit? what local artist that you are interested in meeting?

does design matter

wade — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 06:22:59 +0000

I really enjoyed Jayson Lynes post this evening about design mattering. I can’t think of much to say without quoting from it, so just give it a read.

Logo for new startup Rain Tree Gear

Stuck has designed a logo for a new startup called Rain Tree Gear. They are focused on saving the Rain Forests and will donate a percentage of the profit from the sales of their products to a charity working towards that goal.

This logo wasn’t just for Rain Tree, we like to think we designed it for Mother Earth too.”
