Just catching up on the blogging

Hey guys it's Lisa from TechNo. I am sorry for getting off schedule with updating the blog but I've recently had a big back surgery and have had many complications and honestly getting on the computer was the last thing on my mind.  But now I have nothing to do besides sleep and catch up with work so I am back on track.  So Mim posted about the Google Googles app and I just now read about it and it is pretty neat.  I don't really like the picture too much just because it doesn't recognize the pictures that I took but I'm sure if it is distinct enough or a bar code then it will be able to identify it easily.  The voice command is just the coolest thing ever!! I love this feature.  You have to be very clear but it will pull up exactly what you want on google.  So neat.  Also on another note sticky bits is similiar to this app but you take pictures of things and then it will connect to bar codes and pictures that other people have posted on this website.  If you register now on sticky bits they have a contest going on right now!  Check it out and you may win a years supply of Fiji Water (the cool water in the square bottles)! 

I'm out!  Thanks for reading, 

Lisa

Helping Hands Campaign at Stevens Institute of Technology

Helping Hands Across America is an annual event sponsored by Sodexo. On November 12th, Sodexo, together with it's business partners, clients and neighbors will set out to collect enough canned and non-perishable food items to break a Guinness World Record. The collected items will then be donated to local food banks and charities.

Stevens Dining Services also hosted the Helping Hands Campaign. We started the campaign on October 17th, 2010. To promote this campaign, we first contacted Student Life Committee, Student Government Association, Greek Community, and Ethnic Student Council. Then, we promoted the event through Stevens Dining page, Facebook and flyers. The Student Life Committee has helped us to promote this event through Student Life Newsletter on a weekly basis. The key student who has helped us to make this event successful was Chris Ciabattone, the President of Delta Tau Delta. He and his brothers from Delta Tau Delta donated 900lbs of canned food!! Many thanks to them.

Then, we brought all the food to local church in Hoboken where they will distribute all the donations. We are really thrilled that we helped our neighbor in need and make them happy.
