An Apple a Day

I attended two free classes at the Apple store earlier this week. One was titled "Organizing Your Photos" and the other one was "Understanding iCloud". (I might not have the names of the classes exactly right but I think my made up titles are pretty self explanatory). Both were fabulous.

Sometimes I think I should just go and hang out at the Apple store for a few hours every week. There is so much to learn and I thought I would share with you what I do every time I visit an Apple store.

#1 - I stand in front of the monitors on the walls and watch all of the tips. I consider myself very apple savvy and every single time I learn a great tip watching those monitors. 
#2 - I go to one of the ipads on the table and check out every single app that is on the ipad. This is how I find most of my good apps. I then make my own list of the apps that look fun and interesting.
#3 - I go over to the iphone table and look at those apps too.
#4 - I talk to the apple floor staff. My to go question is "So tell me what's new and exciting.". I also ask "What's your favorite new product?". Finally, I always ask "Tell me something exciting you learned here this week". 

You might think I am crazy but I don't go to the apple store to hang out like a groupie. I go to the store to learn! And speaking of learning, this weeks Artists Helping Artists podcast is all about Organizing Your Photos on your computer. Good thing I am now an expert at this.
