Prez Says for August 2025

Welcome to August, the month of warmer weather and Seattle Seafair which includes the soaring Blue Angels and roaring hydroplanes.  Will you be watching the hydroplane races outside or on tv?

On August 5th, we will have our Tech Corner and General Meeting via Zoom only.   Our General Meeting program will be "More Artificial Intelligence" presented by Ron Brown. Discover how you can use Ai for fun, productivity, and creativity.  Compare Google Search with AI-powered search tools: ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot.  Learn how tools like InVideo, Revoicer AI, and Tech Smith's Camtasia & Audiate are transforming video production, storytelling, and speech editing.  Compare Privacy and Security features in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. 

Do you have questions about one of your computer devices or software? Join us via Zoom at 6:00 PM on August 5th for our Technology Corner.  Topics for the August Tech Corner are:  Choosing a Web Browser, Windows Sandbox, Copilot Vision, and End of Windows Ten.

To prepare for an Auction next year, we need a covered space to sort and store donated items.  Do you have a garage space we could use for one day only on the first Saturday of June, 2026?

We welcome visitors!  Please encourage your friends to join KEGS, the Linux SIG, or the Digital imaging SIG.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
