Hi there.
Finally, a discussion of Born To Run! Before classes started, they made it seem like the first moth of seminar would be devoted solely to the Summer reading. I have to say that I'm glad it wasn't. I really enjoyed Born To Run but I don't think I would have liked wearing it out. Anyway, Dr. Russel was already a name with which I was familiar. I heard about Ray's Weather within the first few days of move-in from a few girls down my hall and it has definitely been my go-to weather site since then. It was interesting to see how Dr. Russel tied Born To Run in with our seminar topic. Tracking apps like FatSecret (I agree, an awful name) have really exploded over the past few years with all of the new smartphone technology especially. I remember having to keep a food/exercise journal for a week in 9th grade health class and it was absolutely awful to keep track of foods and calories and workouts by hand. Though I don't see myself using such a program any time soon, I'm glad to know that there are so many options out there in case I change my mind.
Now... Rescue time... I guess if it worked all the time it was supposed to it would have been better. However, on the short term, it took so long to set up that it was hardly worth the effort. I think it logged the proportions of time I spent fairly accurately, the times themselves seemed far off. I think that the program might be helpful for someone who works mainly on the computer, but for a student who uses their computer mainly for recreation, the software is pretty silly.
Hopefully my next post will be more timely.
Peace,
Z
