TRACK 1
How I Save Hours per Day Keeping Up with Technology
Hewie Poplock, APCUG Vice President; Windows SIG Leader, Central Florida Computer Society
This presentation covers how Hewie uses Evernote and Feedly to find interesting tech news and save that information to be used for his SIG, blogs, and his Facebook posts. If you are frustrated when looking for an article that you read yesterday, last week, or last year, see how you can organize and save everything you might want to read or share easily, and find quickly. You will see how he sifts through hundreds or thousands of articles, find an interesting one and saves and categorizes it in a searchable format. All of his saved articles are accessible from his PC, tablets, or phone.

Francis Chao, Member, WINNERS, the WINdows usERS Group in Irvine, the Greater South Bay Users Group in Torrance, and the Tucson Computer Society For the past eight years, we have been using various models of Webcams to remotely spy on our homes, businesses, and pets. The Internet provides us with two key services for our use of Webcams: A means of communicating with a Webcam from points unknown and cloud storage for saving snapshots and video clips either automatically or on-demand.
