Best iPhone Apps For Work and Productivity August 10, 2010

In a recent post by GeekSugar titled “Work It: 10 Apps Every Businesswoman Should Have: Best iPhone Apps For Work and Productivity,” one in particular caught my eye: the Business Card Reader for iPhone.

It instantly recognizes business cards and files the information under your contacts. This will help make sure you never type in a phone number, name, email address or business name incorrectly in your phone. I would love this, as I have the terrible habit of entering half the information now, and forgetting the second half when I go to enter it later. If I had an iPhone, I would definitely buy this app!

Too bad its 6 bucks!

I am searching like a crazy person for a job. While I have become a pseudo professional intern gaining a ton of experience, I still have no job. I recently found out about the MTV TJ competition and would love an opportunity to compete. Even though I only recently applied, and therefore may not make it high enough on the list to be considered, I still applied with hope. They will announce the top 20 competitors on Monday at www.zync.mtv.com!

Go check it out! And at the very least, follow the competition and influence the winner! Follow the competition on Twitter @MTVTJ

 

Military Service and Social Media December 16, 2009

Facebook is a great way to stay in touch, reconnect and, let’s face it, even stalk people. But while looking through my news feed, I came up the “Wall-to-Wall” of a friend of mine whose husband is overseas with the US Army. He has been gone about a month of his one year in Iraq, and they have posted on each others’ walls just about every other day if not every day. I have a number of friends in different sectors of the military that have served in various regions overseas, but I have never had a boyfriend over there. And with the recent deployment of more troops, it made me wonder: how do social media sites, such as Facebook, affect the relationships of couples and families split up by military service?

A new blog for a new time in my life… June 3, 2009

As a new chapter of my life begins, I am taking advantage of any and every opportunity I can. This includes finally creating the blog I have been wanting to start. The coming entries will cover a variety of topics, including: millennialism, my life as a recent college graduate facing one of the worst economies in history, my love of makeup and makeup artistry and other random musings. More will come soon. I hope you like what you read and look forward to your feedback.

Thanks,

Devon
