Cosmic Bowling with AIGA

IPSA sponsored a lane this year at the Birmingham AIGA's 3rd Annual Cosmic Bowling fundraiser. Andy Harp, Ed Noles, Tony Summerville, Ian Owens and Chuck McBryde represented IPSA on our lane and by all accounts had a great time.

IPSA Members Jeremy Flint, Jay Brandrup and Jim McNamee were also present and bowling on the lane sponsored by Kinetic Communications.

September Meeting: CyberCrime

September 1, 2005
11:30am - 1pm
St. Vincent's Bruno Conference Center
Dale Miskell, FBI CyberCrime Agent

The FBI takes cyber crime and fraud seriously, creating a Cyber Division in
2002 and making cyber crime its number three priority behind counter
terrorism and counter intelligence. Meet FBI Cyber Crime Agent Dale Miskell,
who took the lead in fighting internet scams while working at the Internet
Crime Complaint Center, or IC3, a partnership between the FBI and the
National White Collar Crime Center.

Dale's crime-fighting efforts have even led him to Nigeria, where he helped arrest and prosecute Nigerian con artists. In April, the Merchant Risk Council, a non-profit group devoted to fighting cyber fraud, named Dale its first "Law Enforcement Officer of the Year" for his efforts. Dale will share the latest scams his office is investigating and some tips to protect yourself and your family from becoming victims of a cyber crime.

Please RSVP to let us know if you are coming or not.

August 4th Meeting Recap: KickMail

We had a pretty good turnout for our August 4th meeting. We were presented to by Jay Kreger and Carlton Rhodes of KickMail, a one-to-one email service that offers custom e-mail solutions designed to increase sales and improve corporate communications.

The presentation was very informative with Jay and Carlton delving into the process they used when developing the product, as well as a peak at how it works from the user level.
