Google Timer Tech Tip

I have heard that its best to study for 20-30 minutes and then to take a small break. Its just the way our brains work!

What I find hard with this technique is that its hard to break away once I am "in the zone." Sometimes its hard for me to even get into the zone, so once I do I hate to break free from it.

On the flip side, I hate sitting for long periods. I think that our generation has become accustomed to working at a computer and sitting for hours on ends. Maybe its my extremely long legs, but I feel like blood clots are forming in my legs (I know its probably my imagination, but still). So, I try to get up and take a break at least every hour (usually 5-10 minutes of walking around or standing).

Typing Game Tech Tip: Typing Race

I remember I was in fourth grade when I learned to type. We had quizzes where they put a cover on the keyboard so we couldn't look at the letters as we typed..I HATED it. I realized it just took a bit of practice to get down this whole typing thing and now it is basically second nature.

Ninja Cat and Zombie Dinosaurs was fun! I spent longer playing than I meant to.

I also played Typing Race Typing Race and it was pretty fun. You joined other races (with live opponents) and my competitive side came out. Ninja Cat was fun, but I actually liked Typing Race better.

This is the picture I chose as my profile picture. I actually had this feature set already because I was asked to do so for Dean's Leadership Council (being a mentor). Anyways, I thought this was an appropriate head shot (its a selfie of course).
