EDC (Everyday Carry) & Day Trip Carry Items

*** Please note: This meeting will be both in-person and online. ***

EDC or “Everyday Carry” is a collection of useful items that are consistently carried with you every day. This can be what you bring with you every day workday or every weekend or even on a vacation. It can consist of items you bring for yourself for your job like a USB stick, a camera, adapters, etc. Or for your family for a trip like extra charging cables or battery packs. Or as simple as going out to run some errands. What do you throw in your pockets or bag that you think you’ll need?

Several members will share their everyday carry items and everyone is welcome to do the same.

iPad Accessories & Power Features

*** Please note: This meeting will be both in-person and online. ***

The iPad has come a long way since it was released 12 years ago. Once considered just a “big iPhone”, it has proven itself as a powerful computer replacement. It is used casually as a simple recipe book in your kitchen or relying on it as a daily driver to get work done.

Join us to discuss how individual Mini’app’les group members are using their iPads including power features and iPad accessories.
