I'm Ethan Smith, and this is the STEEM Engine Express.
We begin this week with yet another thorough Android game review by @tfame3865. This time, he reviews Toram Online, a role-playing game that is available in the Google Play Store. With customizable characters, an adventure-based story, and the ability to team up with other players, Toram Online is an interesting game that may offer you hours of entertainment if you enjoy role-playing games. If you're unsure whether you would enjoy Toram Online, be sure to check out tfame's review post, as it is very detailed and includes many of his thoughts on the graphics and gameplay, as well as a tutorial on how to get started playing!
In travel this week, @dawnsheree recounts her recent trip to Boracay, the beach capital of the Philippines! This blog has a little of everything, including a video that shows all of the various transportation methods Dawn used to arrive on the island, a description of how much it might cost to travel to the island, and several great pictures that might have you envious of her recent trip. If you're looking for a place to travel soon and you enjoy beaches, be sure to consider Boracay!
Many of the passengers on The STEEM Engine have shared their adventures in sewing, needlework, and crafting, and this week was no different as @zen-art, otherwise known as Petra, shared a tutorial on how to make a felt butterfly keychain. Follow along as Petra assembles the materials, provides step-by-step instructions, and documents the final product! If you're looking for a new keychain and you like butterflies and crafting, look no further than this blog for your next project!
Finances are something that none of us can avoid. Thankfully, passenger @khimgoh has been sharing a series of blogs about personal finance. This week, the post focuses on the concept of opportunity cost, which always must be considered when making a purchase. I encourage you to read this post and take its advice, as it includes many examples of how one might encounter these financial concepts in everyday life. Be sure to follow @khimgoh's account to make sure you don't miss the future installments of the Personal Finance series, and check out part 1, which focuses on how to live without debt!
Finally today, we return to @pumpkinsandcats's garden, where this week, we find wildflowers and hanging baskets. The flowers that were chosen are specifically flowers that attract bees, which is important, given their recent population struggles. The hanging baskets end up being a great addition to the fence near @pumpkinsandcats' home, and there's even a photo of a cat near the baskets when they're completed. If you need some inspiration for a way to spruce up your home or garden, look no further than this blog post!
It's been a while since we've ventured out to a Featured Station, but today, the STEEM Engine is going to pull into the platform to check out @artemisnorth's Paddling Nature Ramble. The project, found on the Steemit account @paddlingnature, seeks to highlight posts that focus on various aspects of enjoying nature and the great outdoors. This week's post includes many fascinating articles, so I hope you'll take the time to read through them, and be sure to follow @paddlingnature to receive future updates from this initiative! See you outside!
The STEEM Engine Express features five of the best posts curated by the STEEM Engine each week across the Steemit platform. The Express is produced by Ethan D. Smith exclusively for The STEEM Engine initiative on Steemit.com, and is featured throughout the week on the SteemStar.net radio network.

Thank you very much. I'm glad you stop by to listen each week! It has gotten much easier to write and record these podcasts as I've done more, so I need to think up some new ideas. I appreciate the encouragement!

Might just need to start a weekly radio program and do some live stuff, kind of like TOTL but where you have the guests and control the direction in an interview type format.

Okay, probably I should tell you how awesome your guests are (truth) and how wonderful your podcast is (pretty cool), but what really strikes me about this post is your smile. You have a fantastic smile, and the pic at the end makes me want to get to know you more 'cause you seem like a super friendly person. Steem on! :)
