Late
yet again... Sorry for the lateness, but I'm movin' on.
Doc's Cafe this Wednesday
"New Media" is coming to TBCS

Late yet again... Sorry for the
lateness, but I'm movin' on.
Dale Atchison is going to fill in on the Novice SIG
while Bill De Lucia is gone! He will be there TODAY (Tuesday).
More info under SIGs below.
I had announced last week that Doc's Place Live was
going to take a vacation for a few weeks. Cancel that! Just
too many interesting things going on to stop.
We tried going online with Microsoft Live Meeting 3
times last week - with mixed success. I'm too busy to play with it
this week, but we WILL be using it SOON.
Doc's Cafe this Wednesday
(Resource Center 7-9pm)
We return to the original Socrates Cafe format where attendees vote on
the subject they want to discuss for the evening. Bring your
discussion questions to the meeting.
"New Media" is coming to TBCS
I will start a New Media SIG on Saturday, June
13th from 2-4pm at the Resource Center. This SIG will meet TWICE a
month (2nd & 4th Saturdays), and will be open to non-TBCS members.
Many small companies and nonprofits can benefit from this SIG.
I'll be providing more info as we go. What is "New Media"?
If you're interested, use a search engine to find out.
