The Hawaii Macintosh and Apple User Society (or HMAUS) is quite an active group bringing workshops and presentations that run the gamut from web analytics to photography. I’ve been a board member of HMAUS for about 3 months now and I can say if there is anything this group likes to obsess about (besides all things Apple) it’s education. All of their activities revolve around sharing topics of interest with the community. And their gratification comes from that community continuing to ask for more.

On Thursday, Sept. 9th at 6pm, HMAUS presents a hands-on workshop on how to add Google Analytics code to your website. Marco Morawec, a Senior Research Associate at Kamehameha Schools will conduct the workshop. Marco did an earlier workshop on Aug 26 introducing the topic of Google Analytics and this is a follow on. In this upcoming session Marco will help you brainstorm some measurable goals for your site, then insert the code and see where and how the data will be displayed. This is hands on and you are encouraged to bring your laptop so you can DIY and see how it works. There is a nominal $5 charge at the door and you need to sign up here to guaranty your spot.

Then on Saturday, Sept 11, at 9am, HMAUS presents Joe Kissell, who will demonstrate iChat Theater for sharing presentations, videos, pictures and computer screens, from his home half way around the world in Paris, France! Joe will be live from Paris, a 12 hours time zone difference. Joe is also the Senior Editor of Tidbits magazine, one of the longest running online publications. This presentation is free and open to the public. If you are interesting in iChat Theater and MobileMe this is the place to be.

Both presentations, Google Analytics on Sept 9th and iChat on Sept 11th will take place at ING Direct, 1958 Kalakaua Avenue Waikiki. Hope to see you all there.
