Next Meeting: October 21st

The next meeting will be on October 21st, at 7:00 pm at the Canfield Prebyterian chrurch.

Some things we will talk about:

-- We will be showing some things you can do with your photos once you get them digitized on your computer. I'll be showing how to use Windows Movie Maker to make movies out of your photos. Windows Movie Maker comes free with Windows XP and Vista, and while it is not the most full-featured program, it is easy to use. And everybody has it!

-- Like making scrapbooks? You can make and share virtual scrapbooks online at http://scrapblog.com.

-- From Microsoft Labs, they have released a very interesting technology to the public called PhotoSynths. It is hard to describe, but it is essentially the next step beyond creating stitched together panoramas. You'll have to see the results to get a better idea, so go to http://photosynth.net to see photosynths that users have shared. (Warning, you will have to download one-time a big plug-in for your browser in order to view and create photosynths.)

-- We missed this the last time, so hopefully we'll take a look a web site/service that is very popular with the kids these days: Twitter! It's not for everybody, but if you want to see what the hottest place is on the web these days, head over to http://www.twitter.com.

As always, we will also try and answer any other computer questions you may have. I hope to see you there!
