I’m so full of life now, thanks to a brand new love I’ve found. I now have a spanky yanky pretty little brand new girl in my life: pretty and prim — but not too slim; with heavenly eyes — and just the right size; very smart … and she just can’t ever be bothered by any of those silly things I do.
She’s from the city of Appleland, the tribe of MacBooks. Vital stats: white, Intel breed 2.2GHz processor, 1G RAM, 120GB storage… and all the usual excellente goodies of the Apple MacBook tribe. But I’ve not been able to find a cool enough name for her yet. So why don’t you suggest a name for my new Apple MacBook?

All I wanted to do was import my registered Webinars from the On24.com online events platform into Google Calendar.
But no matter how hard I tried, Google Calendar kept shying away from these iCal calendars that Outlook gladly accepts. Hmmm.
So I decided to do what any mentally retarded ape would do: add one calendar– any calendar at all– that Google deems valid, export it, and then find out what’s under the hood.
I searched the public calendars for “Ghana”, and look what fresh apple I found: Apple User Group Ghana! From their website:
People who use Apple technologies have joined together in user groups all around the world. Hundreds of groups offer members the chance to become friends with other Mac users, get questions answered, and have a lot of fun. Groups are for everyone from first-time computer users to experts — from every profession, background, and age. Want technology to do more for you?
So check us out to see what you think. You can get help and offer help, you can make new friends and contacts, and you’ll have fun. If you’ve got a Mac, you’ll want to join the Apple User Group Ghana (AUGG).
The group meets on the first Tuesday of every month, and membership is open to… who would have guessed… users of Apple products. Remember it’s Apple Users, not just Mac users. So even if you own an iPod, they’ll welcome you.
And no, this post was NOT written on a Mac. I don’t have a computer of my own now. But when I do, it’s sure going to be a MacBook Pro!
