Weekly review: Week ending June 22, 2012

| weekly

Busy week, business-wise. I learned how to use Quickbooks Pro to set up my books, and now I’m having an accountant review them to set things up correctly and answer some of my questions. I also picked up Camtasia Studio 8, and I’ve been playing around with using that for screencasts. Both are cool, and I’m learning a lot.

W- ordered LEGO Batman 2, and it’s awesome. I’ve been balancing it with long walks and lots of writing, though, so it’s not a complete timesuck!
