Read MoreQuicken Essentials for Mac – Review
Quicken Essentials is easy to use, easy to understand, and functional. I’m really delighted to learn that Intuit developed Quicken Essentials from the ground up for Macintosh OS X.

Fashioning Technology: A DIY Intro to Smart Crafting – Book Review
Crafting has been a part of my life since the first "paint by numbers" kit I got for Christmas when I was a kid. There was a time in my mid twenties when I was hooked on assembling Radio Shack kits.

I knew instinctively this was something different, something I’d not seen before on the now almost predictable internet. The notice at the bottom of the screen that was loading said Total Running Time: 8:06. "Ruthie!" I yelled to my office mate across the hall, "I’m going to be busy for the next eight minutes!"
