Fresh from the show floor of the 2010 Computer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Bill Achuff brought a long list (115 slides!) of what's new and exciting in the techno world. The show featured 2500 exhibiting companies and 20,000 new products. He told us how some of the newest electronic items available now or announced and forthcoming, are likely to transform our lives.

He is a photographer, presenter, writer, and reviewer.

Our Next Meeting — March 13, 2010:
Rob Parker on Digital Video

Rob says:
One of the most rewarding things I can do is pass along my knowledge and experience to others. I'm looking forward to meeting with my fellow Mac-heads at MLMUG and letting them know how they can embrace Final Cut Pro and digital video. We'll also talk about the next video revolution, shooting and editing HD video with a DSLR. I hope to see you there.

Rob Parker has two decades of experience in photography, professional video, motion picture film, and Macintosh computing. Having spent more than 20 years in broadcast television as a video photographer, editor, producer and motion picture cinematographer, he has worked to sharpen his eye for the moving and still image

Rob has received awards from the Associated Press, National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), including three Emmys

A seasoned, professional Final Cut editor, Rob has been consulting and training all levels of Apple Macintosh computer users for several years and is uniquely qualified to provide guidance to the Mac beginner, especially in the area of digital video.
In 2007, Rob was honored to be asked to join the Temple University Journalism Department as an adjunct professor. He teaches electronic news gathering and Final Cut editing to journalism students.
