Appearance: PPUG meets tomorrow in Philly If you’re going to be in the Philadelphia area tomorrow, you should drop by the Philadelphia PowerBook User Group (PPUG) meeting at the Manayunk Brewery and Restaurant. We meet from 12 noon to 3pm over lunch and fine local beer.

We’ll discuss the latest mobile gear from Apple including the brand-new MacBook and MBP and, of course, the iPhone and iPod. We can also debate the merit of “glassy” screens and Apple’s controversial decision to drop the FireWire port from the new MacBook. More details and directions are on the PPUG Web site.

I hope to see you there.

Biography

Jason D. O'Grady

Jason D. O'Grady developed an affinity for Apple computers after using the original Lisa, and this affinity turned into a bona-fide obsession when he got the original 128 KB Macintosh in 1984.

He started writing one of the first Web sites about Apple (O'Grady's PowerPage) in 1995 and is considered to be one of the fathers of blogging. He has been a frequent speaker at the Macworld Expo conference and a member of the conference faculty. He also co-founded the first dedicated PowerBook User Group (PPUG) in the United States.

After winning a major legal battle with Apple in 2006, he set the precedent that independent journalists are entitled to the same protections under the First Amendment as members of the mainstream media.

O'Grady is the author of The Nexus One Pocket Guide, The Droid Pocket Guide, The Google Phone Pocket Guide, and The Garmin nuvi Pocket Guide (Peachpit Press), the author of Corporations That Changed the World: Apple Inc. (Greenwood Press), and a contributor to The Mac Bible (Peachpit Press). In addition, he has contributed to numerous Mac publications over the years, including MacWEEK, Macworld, and MacPower (Japan).

When he's not writing about Apple for ZDNet at The Apple Core, he enjoys spending time with his family in New Jersey.
