Creative force behind Michael and Judith Dinowitz's Fusion Authority Quarterly Update magazine. I wish I would have picked a better name. Sean Corfield picked curmudgeon, which is great. Anyway, I put together the magazine. I decide the look and feel and colors and cover. I use InDesign CS3 to lay it out, on a MacBook. So, too bad I can't add the Made on a Mac sticker to the mag. LOL
