Meeting Summary…

December’s meeting included a list of super-handy-cool-stuff presented by several folks:

  • How-To create and add your signature to sign a PDF with Preview.
  • OS X Image Capture‘s cool tasks & tricks.
  • iPhoto: Two suggestions for making/moving copies — and removing photos from iPhoto’s database.

  • Bartender_Mac Menu Bar Item Control. Lets you organize your menu bar apps.
  • [Log on] Password trick linked to Bluetooth pairing.
  • PopClip. Fast text editing: Automatically shows options (your preferences) on highlighted text.
  • A ‘bigger’ Clipboard:  Jumpcut allows more than one item in Clipboard — including whole articles with photos.
  • Skitch [Recommended version 1.0.11]: a super-handy selective-screen-capture program with added tools (colors, boxes, arrows, etc.) & lots of SaveAs (file type) options.
  • Dictation & Speech with Siri: [Amazing]  Dictation-to-text demoed. (Note: Siri has great built-in [correct] spelling.)
  • Nightstand Central:  Beautifully designed (music alarm) clock with weather and customizable photo backgrounds.
  • The use of AirServer: an AirPlay receiver similar to an Apple TV — to stream content or Mirror your display.
  • EMail FYI: You can set-up different eMail Clients in order to separate your personal ‘groups-of-interest.’
