Every once in a while, I receive requests to review a website or app on my blog and most of the time, they do not catch my eye. But when I heard from cofounder and CEO, Victor Karkar about his web app, scrible, my interest was piqued. The scrible web app has been available in beta for a little while now and last week they announced scrible Student Edition, geared towards college students. I decided to try out scrible myself and see what it has to offer. Since the Student Edition is brand new, it is not yet available to everyone. Once you have created an account (using your .edu email), you can tell scrible to notify you once these other features are available. Until the Student Edition is activated on your account, you can take advantage of the basic edition. The basic edition is the same as the Student Edition, just missing certain features like citations.

The Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute are the leading organizations in the efforts to save our history. Here are three things you may not have known about their archiving efforts.

March is officially here, along with spring lookbooks in my mailbox. Bright colors, floral prints, and sundresses are on the horizon, and I don’t know about you but I’m dying to put my spring wardrobe together!

Every college student has a favorite website to browse. Many jump on the social media bandwagon and flock to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (yes, Instagram has a limited way to browse the web). Others take to other sharing sites like Tumblr to kill a few minutes before class. But in the last year or two, Imgur and Reddit have been added to many students’ procrastination lists. What makes websites like these catch on so quickly?

Between the Grammys, Golden Globes and Oscar awards all taking place within the last few months, the fashion industry has definitely had an abundance of red carpet inspiration. Like I said in my post about the Grammys, sometimes the dresses get more hype than any of the awards. Designers definitely did not fail this time around. They dressed actors and actresses to the nines this year with a super-vintage feel.

Now that the spring weather is upon us, all of the goodies that come along with spring are here too. One of my favorite things that happens now is hearing about rumors of new technology, specifically smartphones, that will be released in the coming months. There are a few devices that consumers should keep an eye out for next time they upgrade their mobile tech. First on the list is Samsung’s Galaxy S4.

Wednesday was a big day for gaming fans as information about the PlayStation 4 was announced. Sony unveiled a new Dualshock controller, a list of the console’s new specs and new, interesting features, including the future app and the ability to play a game from the console on a PSVita. Following this announcement on Wednesday, a realization hit me: the age of ubiquity with electronics is finally upon us.

Last weekend’s 70-degree temperatures got me in the mood for spring. I started going through my closet and pulling out all of my favorite dresses and shorts, but just like with any new season I started longing for new clothes. Instead of going shopping I decided to get creative and turn old clothes into new.

Last week, Tom and I attended a free lecture at the Tempe History Museum. The topic for this month was the research of Stephen Germick about the Apache Leap legend. The legend goes like this:

It is not every day that you see me writing about printers. I actually try to avoid writing about those things because nothing amazing has come from them recently. While this is still true, ASU has tried to make printing that much easier with their recent enactment of the Print Anywhere feature offered on campus.

Remember when every toy or gift we received required some size of battery? My house had a battery drawer (it has now become an everything drawer) full of AA’s, AAA’s, C’s, D’s, 9V’s and whatever random watch batteries we would collect over time. Those batteries never had great lives, even after using tricks like storing batteries in the freezer to retain its charge.

I probably should not be so embarrassed to admit this, but I have seen enough ASU students on OkCupid to know I’m not alone in using a digital matchmaker to grab at the elusive dangling carrot of love.
