Jenn, Thanks for the query. To add to what Chris stated.
*At SYN/HAK:* At our current location, we do have internet. So, technically you should be able to evaluate _all_ Adobe Creative Cloud products for 30 days per: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/buying-guide.html We have some computers that you should be able to use for this during open hours. *At the Akron Main Library:* Just got off the phone with Chris @ Akronist, and learned that they're located at the library and have the Adobe's full editions ready for you to use during their open hours. Check them out at: http://www.akronist.com/training/ *I owe Chris the front page ABJ article from Monday: http://www.ohio.com/news/machinists-engineers-and-artists-willing-to-share-their-toys-and-knowledge-at-free-community-workshop-space-1.440414?comments=n * In fact, I'd encourage all SYN/HAK members to attend their training classes for citizen journalism - I <3 it, but due to work schedule I might not be able to make it. Also, consider volunteering your skills for Akron Mini-Maker Faire at the Main library this Sat between 1p-4p. ( http://makerfaireakron.akronlibrary.org/) I myself am a volunteer videographer/photographer (meaning I have a DSLR and do volunteer its use) At the event, we have 40 makers convening for a few hours. It is my wish to have 5min video pieces of all makers. I have communicated this to the organizers at the library, but seriously doubt that they will be able to cover all makers. I plan to arrive at the event to make this happen, but would like the group as well as you know that during the event coverage would be great to have, after the event. *At the next Akron Canton Web Meetup and Akron Film+Pixel* Akron Canton Web Meetup is meeting Nov 5 at 7am in the morning at the Akron Family Restaurant, for make breakfast: Details here: http://www.meetup.com/akroncantonweb/ They are practitioners of Adobe products through and through. It will help you to network with them. They are not the only pixel pushers I know of. Akron Film+Pixel also comes to mind. Details about them here: http://www.akronfilm.com I wish you luck in your pixel pushing efforts. Hope you can push pixels much more effectively than I can.
