As I continue with my never ending journey across the internet using the site stumbleupon something interesting recently crossed my path. As my mother has taught me from a young age to clean up after myself and to do chores this product that I stumbleuponed seemed to make perfect sense.

It only seems to make sense. And just when you thought that technology was all about phones, computers, and the internet it changes and advances the simple act of cleaning. The video doesn't even mention the help this would have on the environment as the only chemical being used is water.
Just something to think about.

Too Good To Be True?
Here's a link I stumbled upon today.. except this time I think it could be really useful. I just gotta decide if it's legit. Definitely check it out because if it is then it is so cool (well as cool as managing your money can get).
http://www.mint.com/ Don't forget to check out the video on it as well that is found on Mint's homepage.
Also from mint is some sweet new ways to get the cheapest airfare out there.

Being a business student has definitely helped me in this way at least.

Stuck in Winter
Recently I have noticed that this past month I have just kind of went through the motions and have been very absent in my daily activities. I feel worn down, but I thought the semester has just started and there is no way I want it to be summer already because that means leaving most of my friends here in Madison. I'm tired, but I cannot sleep and often I find myself zoning out. It isn't to the point that I am falling behind in my classes; yet I worry that I am missing important information. I just don't feel very spur of the moment happy go lucky Quinn as I have prided myself on usually being. So I'm going to change it.
From now until whenever I will do somethings for me. And I don't mean buying myself new stuff, but instead putting myself in situations where I can enjoy the things and people around me. (This is also one reason I recently applied to go on a mission trip to Guatemala through my college). I heard someone say today that if you just wake up in the morning and say to yourself that you will be happy, then you will be happy. I must admit I haven't woken up recently and said anything to myself, but instead just mumbled through my usual morning routine. So again I'm going to change it.
I'm not sure if I need any luck to go along with this change of attitude, but here are definitely some videos I recently found that have captured my attention with human luck.

Does Technology Really Help?
First, let me start off with a couple of links to check out so you can understand where I'm coming from with this one.

Pretty cool stuff, huh? A laptop that rolls up? Just when you think they have done everything possible something new comes literally "rolling" along.
So with all of these technological advances and the feeling that it just won't ever stop; does all of this technology really help make our world easier?
Well I of course would quickly say yes, but let's see the other argument for it first. Technology creates more work because you can take your work home with you and never have to stop working. Well even though that may be true for some people I don't believe it is the case for everyone or even the majority.
I believe that technology has made this world easier to live in from a standpoint of staying connected with one another and making it easier to connect the whole world. With things like skype, facebook, and even news websites pretty much anything we need is at our fingertips. You can study abroad and manage your bank account, be at home and watch a television episode you missed, and you can even take anything you do with your technology on the road and with your gps you can know you will get to your location.
To me if technology wasn't good then we would stop buying it.
