I’m ending the week of “How To”s with an index of past tips and tricks that I’ve covered on the site. Probably a bit of a cop out but between Black Friday, Cyber Monday, sewing projects, grocery shopping, PTO responsibilities and laryngitis my how-to-it-ness is tapped out. How to show the percentage of battery life [...]

When iTunes 9 was released it gave people the ability to share iTunes libraries with other computers on their network. My husband and I have our own iTunes accounts and libraries. He buys music and I buy apps but they stay on our own computers. When we wanted to share apps we had a work [...]
