I’ve been fascinated by the digital world and the way it’s shaping not only the way content is spread through our culture but the content itself. I was eager to embrace blogging, thanks to Meg Hourihan and her husband. I’ve created two innovative cooking apps for smart phones, Ratio and Bread Baking Basics, with the hopes of making cooking easier and more fun for people—and there's more to come, thanks to Will Turnage.

Thank you Will and Leah. Android users, scan this QR or click the link above.  Let me know in comments if you have any problems! qrcode For those who don't know what Ratio is or does, watch the demo below.
