Officers Will Have Access
One really nice feature is that all the officers can have access to posting information, graphics, and sources. This should really bring more of a sense of ownership to the club's web presence and maybe create some interest that wasn't there before.
Announcement
The Sequim PC User's Group will be directed to this BLOG late in the year. The SPCUG web site will be decommissioned, thus saving the club time, money and resources which can be better used elsewhere.

Marketing on The Web with VIDEO - 4 Apr., 2008
NEW YORK — You don't need a pan and a stream in California to join the next gold rush. A video camera, computer and high-speed Internet connection will do.
A vast array of professional and semiprofessional producers are starting to use those tools to create ad-friendly entertainment and news videos expressly for the Web. The goal is to dramatically change people's video-viewing habits — and cash in on a potentially enormous business opportunity.
"It's like the early days of cable," says former Viacom executive Herb Scannell, now CEO of Internet video investment and support firm Next New Networks. "We're inventing new business models, new talent and new programming models."
Internet users already can find countless fresh choices in the middle ground between reruns of slick network TV programming, such as the shows on Hulu.com, and amateur clips such as the kind popularized by YouTube.
Popular genres for original Web productions include dramatic series (Lonelygirl15and Prom Queen), topical comedy (BarelyPolitical.com, 236.com and comic Will Ferrell's Funny Or Die), news analysis (TalkingPointsMemo) and specialized interests (for example, ThreadBanger offers the latest about sewing and knitting).
Producers have powerful incentive to test the market: Ad spending for Internet videos will rise 455% by 2011 to $4.3 billion, says research firm eMarketer."It's growing faster than any other advertising category," says George Kliavkoff, NBC Universal's chief digital officer. "There's just a sea change." That's one reason his company and other major TV network owners are starting to dip their toes into original Web production. Over the past few weeks:

Studded Tire deadline extended in Washington and Oregon
Date: Thursday, March 27, 2008
Contact: Chris Christopher, Co-Director Maintenance and Operations, (360) 705-7850
Alice Fiman, WSDOT Communications, (360) 705-7080
OLYMPIA – The studded tire deadline is extended through April 5.
“The anticipated winter weather for the next few days plus the desire to give drivers time next week to remove studded tires led to this decision,” said Chris Christopher, WSDOT Co-Director for Maintenance and Operations. “We don’t anticipate extending the deadline past April 5."
In a coordinated effort with Oregon’s Department of Transportation (ODOT), the last day to legally use studded tires this season in Washington and Oregon is Saturday, April 5.

How To Fight and Win
Fight Companies Online And Win
The Consumerist's step-by-step guide to posting your complaint against a company online and getting results.
Those results can be money, an apology, a new device, or a hug, but you can tap into the power of the magical internet to get you some serious traction.
After blogging about customer complaints for nearly a year, and even ending up on TV a few times ourself, we've got what we think is a pretty good idea of what works.
STEP ONE: GET SCREWED
This is the easy part...
START A BLOG
For ease and speed, Blogger.com is pretty good. Give the blog a catchy title, like "Verizon Is Eating My Face."
POST YOUR INITIAL COMPLAINT
Type the letters, one after another. Be sure to include Who, What, Where, When, and How. It's fine to be all emo but at least get the facts in there before you start slicing your wrists all over the screen.
INCLUDE CONTACT INFORMATION
A valid email address should do. If you don't feel like dealing with this blog for the rest of your life, set up a new email address like verizoniseatingmyface@gmail.com.
ENABLE COMMENTS
People will need to offer you advice and solace, as well as throw text-based poop in your direction. Leave these playground gates open. Respond to questions when appropriate.
STOCK SMOKING GUNS
Include pictures, audio, video, phone call recordings, scanned copies of letters, and conversation transcripts. YouTube is good for uploading video. You can even get away with uploading pure audio there too. The key idea here is to publicly publish evidence to bolster your case. The more and the more irrefutable it is, the better your chances are of getting that money or hug you want.
Some of the following involve using HTML code. Don't worry if you don't know much about it. These services offer code you can drag and drop into your blog. Their sites also include instructions on doing so, in case you get stuck. Everything is learned through trial and error, so if it doesn't look right, tweak until it does!
INCLUDE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE COMPANY
If people hear your cry and are sympathetic, they may take it upon themselves to call or write the company on your behalf. Boom! Instant protest campaign.
EMBED A SITEMETER
Insert sitemeter code into your site. This will keep track of the traffic your blog receives. Images from its graph also makes for an easy post, "Look, traffic is up 300%!"

California wants WiFi warning stickers
California wants WiFi warning stickers: "California wants WiFi warning stickers
8/31/2006 11:58:08 AM, by Nate Anderson
California is getting serious about network security—well, serious enough to legislate stickers. AB 2415 has cleared the General Assembly and now heads to Governor Schwarzenegger's desk for his signature. It's an attempt by the state to make sure that consumers know how to activate security features on their WiFi routers in order to prevent personal information from being accessed 'by unauthorized users who piggyback onto their network connection.'
The bill requires that all WiFi routers manufactured after October 1, 2007 and sold in the state of California come with a prominent warning about the dangers of unsecured routers and include instructions for password protecting the devices. While most manufacturers include this information in the product manual, this will no longer be enough. Instead, the state wants the warnings to be impossible to miss, and that's where the stickers come in.
Vendors are given two basic choices: 1) they can include a security warning in the software setup routine or they can 2) attach a 'temporary warning sticker' to the device that must be peeled off before the router can function. These warnings do not need to contain the complete information—one can only imagine the size of the sticker that would be required—but the"
