Let's chit chat about Dropbox. I don't think anyone has talked about that yet and completely out of ideas.

But anyway, Dropbox is an amazing asset that teachers and students can take advantage of. Dropbox is a free It can allow for one way sharing or two way sharing. In most cases, this is used by a teacher who will provide his or her students with a link and they can easily upload their assignment to them.
It can also be used in another way that allows a group of people to all upload assignments but also be able to see and download everything else uploaded. This could be very beneficial to those doing group assignments.
This is one service that was been a huge help to me during school. Doing graphic design, I sometimes have huge files to send. Most of the time, these files are way too large to send by email and even sometimes too big to upload to Blackboard. That's we're Dropbox comes in. If the teacher has a Dropbox set up, a massive file could be quickly and securely sent to them.

Good Website Smackdown

Good Website SMACKDOWN

For my smackdown on a good website, I'd like to talk about Draft Kings. If you watch any kind of sports, you've seen commercials for this at an obnoxious rate, but what is it? Draft Kings is a fantasy sports based gambling website. Just like in fantasy football/baseball/etc., you pick a team and just pray they do good.

But onto their website, it's fantastic. As soon as you create an account with them, you're greeted with one of the cleanest home pages you can ever hope to use. Everything you need to read with contrasted well for eligibility. Navigation is intuitive to anyone that has used any sort of modern website. The site flows downward with the weight of importance; the very top is account navigation, then follows sports navigation and that's followed by contest navigation. The website loads fast, so the designers have clearly put time into compressing all of their files. Draft Kings is clearly made by an experienced team of designers and programmers.

I love Tech Blogs so much.

Do these have to relate back to our academic or professional career? Because I'm really out of idea. Everything a graphic designer uses is in the Adobe Suite.

I'll just start talking about technology that is a part of my normal life. Something that is a very useful in my daily life is a website called sleepyti.me. Sleepytime is just a simple time calculator that helps you get a more full night's sleep.

Sleepy Time is a calculator that tries to time out your sleep cycle for you. Sleep cycles last for 90 minutes and it makes you feel much better if you wake up after one instead of in the middle of one.

Sleepy Time offers you two options to help you; "I need to wake up at ___" and "If I go to bed now, I should wake up at ____". 

Sleepy Time is completely free to use and works right from your internet browser. It's a fantastic website for anyone that regularly sleeps daily or even those new to sleeping that just use it as a hobby.
