I am a Junior in college majoring in Accounting. I love being in college and love being around the exciting atmosphere and fun events that are held often but the homework seems to stack up quickly. One day while I was sitting in one of my accounting classes, the professor brought to our attention a book that is called Excel University: Volume 1. The professor also stated that it helps improve the productivity for accountants. Well, once he told us that, I knew I needed to look more into this book because Excel is utilized so much in the accounting profession. I did some research and thought that the book would be very beneficial for me because one day soon, I will be a professional working in the field of accounting. I also found out that there is an advanced excel training course that is taught by the author of the book. I find the content of the book fascinating and am excited to read more about Microsoft Excel.

Linear Actuators–Simple Yet Important
Last week I blogged about a project I was doing for school and about Ball Splines. Well it seems this week we have now incorporated Linear Actuators into the mix. Our project is becoming a lot more complicated and demanding than I originally thought it would be. I’m not complaining because I know this is how the real world will be and I might as well get the practice in now.
Anyways, linear actuators are basically in everything we use, from drawers, to elevators. We may not think of the items needed to work these everyday items but they are there, and they are important. Linear Actuators are interesting to learn about because there are so many different kinds of them: profile rail, round rail, sliding elements, short travel and a lot more (but I don’t want to bore you). Our professor guided us to buy these parts from SMI4Motion, and yes we had to pay for our own stuff! Luckily nothing has been that ridiculous in price and we have learned a lot of info just from the manufacturer themselves about these items.
Secure Your Belongings
My boyfriend lives in a house with five different college guys. Since they are in college you can imagine how clean their home is, along with how many parties they have. It may sound ridiculous but installing a security camera for either your home, or either your son or daughters college home, is important. I can’t tell you how many times these guys have gotten expensive things stolen from them after having “friends” over. This just goes to show you can’t trust everyone that walks through your door and that’s scary.
Just yesterday they discovered three missing remotes, a missing golf club and shoes. How random of things to steal but nonetheless keeping your safety and items safe is a major issue. Now I’m sure your thinking that security cameras are expensive for college students but they really aren’t and who can put a price on safety. You never really know who is in your neighborhood, or your home in this matter, so keeping things locked up and surveillance is the answer. Check that off the shopping list!
Scanner for the iPad Tablet
My sister got this Scanner for the iPad Tablet for her husband and he just raves about it all the time. He showed me how it works and it looks pretty slick. I am almost debating on getting one.I have four kids and they are always drawing things, and I have so many pictures of them. Being able to put them on my iPad that I take every where would be so much easier then, carrying around the pictures to show friends, or even keeping them at home and worrying about them getting ruined.
It would also make it easier for me to send them to family members around the world through emails, rather then just telling them about what they are up to these days. Especially my husband too, because he is always traveling for work and he misses out on a lot of things, so I could scan and send pictures of our kids in sports or just hanging out for the day to him. I would also probably use it for keeping my recipes in place and not loosing any of those either.
Awesome iPad Accessory
I just got this for my birthday last week and I love it. I haven’t seen anything like it so I had to go research a little and see what I can do with it. It’s called a Bluetooth® Keyboard Portfolio for iPad® Tablet. It was at an amazing price I thought and so far I just love it. I can just hook my iPad to it, and away I go doing my emails and just rolling around on the web. It’s so handy and convenient to use!
If you have an iPad I really recommend this. I am getting emails all the time from work, but it’s not like I can carry my computer everywhere. We are going to Hawaii next week for a little family vacation, and it is going to be so easy to keep up with work and to check every once in a while and not have to worry about getting so far behind.
iPad To Heaven
This is a great gift for anyone! I also heard they are coming out with a newer model to! I love my iPad 2 and I think I would be lost without it. It’s a16gb and I take it everywhere I go. I am always traveling and it’s a great toy to have while waiting for you plane, or even on the plane. I can read, play games, check my email, or do what ever I can think of on it. I love it and now my kids want one too. They are just like a mini computer and an oversized iPod.
I heard that they are coming out with the iPad 3 around March 16. Which means, that you can either wait for the new one to come out or buy the iPad 2, which I love and have no problems with. If you wait for the third generation to come out, the iPad 2 will probably drop in price too! Yes they are spendy, but I think they are worth it.
A handsfree conversation and phone charger is a plus for me
If you are an iphone user you will want a Kensington powerlift for the Iphone. The Kensington powerlift charges the phone while propping it up for you to have a hands free conversation or enjoy facetime with your other caller. Dont worry about running out of power because the Kensington powerlift provides backup power to your battery so you will not run out of juice while having a nice conversation.

Keep an eye on your things while having a good time
Are you always having parties? Are you concerned with items missing from your home after some of the wild parties you have in your home ? I suggest you protect your home with a good home security system. Always know what is going on around your home by having home security cameras all around the place and keeping watch even during the night.
For instance I would be very upset if my Sony Android Tablet went missing or if some of my expensive tools disappeared. I am very finicky when it comes to my things going missing. I recommend you protect your home from any mishaps.
