    “I’m in love!” “It’s just so easy!” “And it’s so fast!” “And I just love the keyboard!” “I feel so grown up now!” “If I had known this, I would have gladly paid the money! It’s worth it!” “This is just excellence, plain and simple.” All words spoken by my Mom about her newest Mac Read more

  • Detroit Mutant Radio

    The rock/fusion band, Detroit Mutant Radio, solicited my help when they wanted to “spruce up” their press kit with some simple adjustments.

  • Come On, Y’all!

I just turned 30 yesterday, so yes, I’m a “youngster”, as the parent co-chairs of this event have resorted to calling me.
