Short version: Go to my Mo Space: MoBro.co/Targuman and please consider donating either to my account, our Penn State Team, or if you would like, join our team and start collecting yourself! Thanks! Last year you may recall that I shaved my mustache last year for Movember. I was going for the […]
FINAL UPDATE: For now, using Pages with Dropbox may be the best solution. UPDATE: October 2013. I am late in noticing this but Google (who acquired Quickoffice last year) has announced that they have released a free version of Quickoffice. Sounds good, right? But there is a BIG hitch.

I just ordered the latest album from this incredible group. Daniel Amos, if you have not heard of them, has been around since the 80s and is one of the most creative and consistent (in quality if not regularity of publications) groups I still follow. I hesitate to categorize them […]
