01 Possible Meeting Topics
I've been thinking a lot lately about topics for future meetings for
the Tulsa Users of Macintosh Society. I thought I would list some that
I'm considering or have scheduled. Then see what you think and ask for
additional topics. Much of these listed have been presented in the past
year or scheduled for presentation during the next year.

02 Apps from Canada . . .
As we've written in the past, apps for iOS are coming from all over
the world with a slowly shrinking share comeing from the U.S. There are
many good apps coming from our neighbors in Canada -- so this week we've
singled out five great apps all from the Canadians
03 The Little App Developer That Could
App Promo, a leading app marketing and strategy firm, has published
the results from their Second Annual App Developer Survey that took
place between this April/May 2013. The most noteworthy finding from the
survey showed the tenacity of app developers today. 81% of app
developers stated they would not abandon their app despite the same
amount indicating that their app is currently not earning enough money
to support a standalone business -- from Canada

04 Application Development Server For iOS Released
The Server for iOS is an application that turns your iOS device
into a fully featured wirelessly accessible data modelling and

05 Draw this App --An Innovative Way to Learn How to Draw
*Draw this App* turns your iPad into a virtual studio that will
improve your drawing skills using metrics to track progress. Think you
can't draw? Peterson Hamilton thinks otherwise. The Toronto based
designer and developer has created an iPad app that challenges the user
using similar technique to learning how to write cursive so that anyone
can hone their drawing skills. Drawing is a different way of thinking,
that most people haven't refined, and aren't able to fully access. --

14 Quotes: Father's Day, June 16th
He opened the jar of pickles when no one else could.
He was the only one in the house who wasn't
afraid to go into the basement by himself.
He cut himself shaving,
but no one kissed it or got excited about it.
It was understood when it rained,
he got the car and brought it around to the door.
When anyone was sick, he went out to get the prescription filled.
He took lots of pictures ...
but he was never in them.
-- Erma Bombeck
The most important thing a father can do for his children
is to love their mother.
Henry Ward Beecher
