I'm organizing a session at NW-MTUG that will be made up entirely of local speakers. Here's the format.

6 speakers

5 mins each speaker

No questions

Topic of your choice

 

For now if you could let me know of sessions you would like to present just give me a  title and a short description feel free to send more than one, send these to me before July 31^st after that I'll create a poll on the groups Facebook fan page and let the group vote on the sessions they'd like to see. This will be based on session title and description so no one company should dominate the evening. Ideally I'd like to see this happen in October or November as this will give me time to sort sponsorship, the voting and will give those people selected to deliver a session time to prepare. Please feel free to forward this invite to anyone you think would be interested in delivering a session.

One of the things I like in OS X is the ability to highlight a piece of text in any application and search for it using Google. Using Automator it's very easy to create a new Services and add similar functionality of our own. I have created a service that will allow you to search using Bing. Simply download my service and extract the contents of the zip file to your ~/Library/Services folder.

The screenshot shows an example of using my "Search with Bin" service. All you have to do is highlight the text you wish to search for and then select "Search with Bing". The search results will then open in your default web browser.  

Installed MacJournal and just writing my first blog post to check it out. So far seems ok for blogging I miss LiveWriter while working on my MacBook and this seems like the best substitute so far.
