Cool Capture Reader Entry: A Coolpix View of the Bay
Reader sissysugar recently added some shots to the Cool Capture group in the GeekSugar Community:
I snapped this pretty picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and bay with my Nikon Coolpix S200. I love the camera because it takes good pictures and is light and fits in my bag, but I'm ready to graduate to an SLR for more advanced options. I don't really have any special technique.
Tech Dating 101: Do You Save Messages From Your Date?
One of the benefits of of digital technology is that every email, text, and voicemail is easily saved, stored, and relived.

Please Note Sugar Changes That Will Affect Citizen 4.0
So, the new "better" version of user generated content and groups is here. There are a lot of changes, some good, some bad, some kinks they're working on over the weekend.
There's one big change I've noticed that will definitely affect this group, and that is that haus and I can no longer edit your posts. Some of you may know that I will regularly fix html, edit a vague subject line, or provide an article source if it's inadvertently left out, but I can no longer do that, so please be extra careful with your posts.
The other thing I notice right off the bat is that you now have the option to compose your post in rich text or in html. If you want to use html to embed a video, an image, or use html to bold or italicize text, you need to click "Switch to raw html" underneath the box where you type your post. So, that is to say, if you were bolding text <b>like this</b>, you need to use the "Switch to raw html" option. Same goes if you are copying and pasting the code to embed a youtube video or something like that.
