Monosnap – So Much More Than a Screen Snapshot Tool
Monosnap Main Window You know I’m a fiend for taking screenshots and annotating them.

Charge Your Apple Watch and Phone with Belkin Valet Power Pack
When Steve and I were retiring, many people asked us if we were going to travel. I said, “no plans at all to travel.” Evidently I was wrong! It seems we travel an awful lot these days, to both foreign lands and locally to go see the grandson. I’ve gotten so that I can pack […]
