5 on Friday: Nicole’s Favorite Tumblogs

Tumblr is something different for everyone, but to me it’s a mental break. It’s pictures. Its where I see things that make me giggle, and share them with everyone else. Basically, it’s just fun. It’s also a bit overwhelming to know where to start. Here are my favorites to get you started, or

App Review: Springpad

I cannot keep my digital life organized. And since my digital life is pretty much my real life, that becomes a problem. My recipes are in one place, blog posts to read in another, to-watch-play-read in their own pockets, and so on. It’s ridiculous. I’ve tried a ton of services and some

More Amazon Original Pilots!

Since I’m on a break between school and my internship, I took some time to watch some more Amazon Original Pilots. I love tv, and I especially love original shows- bring on the awesome! Dark Minions- Created by Kevin Sussman and John Ross Bowie (better known as Stuart and Barry Kripke from

Engineering as a Creative Outlet

Take a moment to picture a software engineer. What is the image that comes to mind? A pasty guy sitting in the glow of a monitor, endlessly hacking away at his keyboard? Someone who is the lone wolf type, probably lacking in social skills? Strictly logical, and a little Spock like? A

Google Reader Alternatives: NewsBlur

A couple of weeks back I wrote a post about Google Reader being retired, and what the various options were for someone who was looking for something new. I mentioned at the time that I couldn’t write about NewsBlur because they were slammed so hard that the site was unusable. They’ve either beefed up their servers, or
