Rech Tip: Canvas Profile

I decided to update my canvas profile! I changed my display name from "Kimberly" to "Kimber" since that is what most people call me. Then, I added an avatar photo to my profile. I picked this picture because I think I look pretty normal in it. Normally I like to have profile pictures be a little bit goofy because I feel as though that is how I am in real life, but I figured since this was school it would be a little better to have something I little more professional.

Tech Tip: Canvas Mobile App

I already had the Canvas app downloaded on my phone, so I didn't need to go through the installation process. I really enjoy using the app because it is super easy to use, plus it's so much better than D2L. I would highly suggest using the app because if you ever forget to do a declaration, it is so easy to go and use it on your phone if your not close to your computer! Plus, it's super easy to keep up on all your school work for classes that use Canvas.

Tech Tip: Google Timer

A time management trick I use is I focus a certain amount of time on just one assignment. If I'm having a really difficult time focusing, I will usually put my phone far away from me since I usually waste a lot of time looking at things on there. Now that I know I can get a timer from Google, it'll be so much easier to do this since I don't need to use my phone for a timer!

Tech Tip: Poster

The photo I used was found by the random generator on the AutoMotivator source and the quote is an original from me.

Tech Tip: Hashtags and Retweets

For this tech tip, I decided to look into hashtags and retweets on Twitter. They are something that are used practically daily for anyone on Twitter, so it's a good thing to really understand. I decided to retweet the following item because I really like elephants, so I figured that it would be perfect! It's Vishnu blessing the elephants..so awesome!

Here is the link to this retweet:

I then decided to look into #boomsoon. I chose this hashtag because "Boom Soon" is easily my favorite saying at the University, plus with all the great football tweets from this past weekend and saxeT week this week, I knew there would be some great tweets!

Tech Tip: Google Site Website

For this tech tip, I decided to make a website using Google Sites. I am using this website for my storybook. Here is the the link to the website

Tech Tip: Weather Widget

I decided to add the weather to my blog! I think that weather is a pretty cool thing to be in the know about, and it's always nice to be aware of what the temperature is so you can plan on what to wear! I chose the design of the sticker because it reminds me of traveling and going to India!

Tech Tip: Blogger Design

I decided to change the design of my blog for a few reasons. One of the reasons was that the original design of the blog was the default design, so I wanted something a little more personable. Since I love reading, when I saw the book template I knew that one was for me! Another reason I changed my design was because the original design was orange, and obviously we cannot have that on OUr campus!!

Introduction to a Weirdo, Tech Tip: Embedded YouTube

Hello! My name is Kimber Rutherford and I am a senior Electrical Engineering student. My favorite thing about my major is that I get to learn how to create things that have a practical use in the world. Once I graduate this upcoming Spring, I hope to find a job either in the Oklahoma City area or the Houston area, which is close to where I live and I eventually would like to get my Masters in Electrical Engineering. Once I am retired, I want to be able to look back at my career and see that I helped society progress, whether in the technology, energy, or medical field. Last semester, my favorite class that I took was Signals and Systems. This class was awesome because it involved a lot of math, plus the professor was incredible! He was always cracking jokes with us and made us truly believe that we can do all of the work required for Electrical Engineering. He is one of the few professors that I’ve had who cared about us and genuinely wanted to see his us succeed. The biggest accomplishment that I had last semester was that I was able to pass all of my classes all while holding leadership positions in multiple organizations.

Over the summer break, I went to Pagosa Springs, CO with my family. It was so beautiful and it we got the chance to do so many amazing things! We went rafting, horseback riding, rode on ATV’s, and so much more! I am currently in the Pride of Oklahoma, the marching band here at the university. I play percussion and I play the keyboards down in the front, so I don’t have to worry about marching around the field. I am a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, which is a music sorority on campus, and I am also involved in WECE, which stands for Women in Electrical and Computer Engineering. In my free time, I like reading, watching Netflix, knitting, and hanging out my friends. I’m currently reading Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card and I’m watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix. I don’t really have a particular favorite style of music, but I’ve been listening to a lot of Ben Folds recently. Last semester I got to see him live in Oklahoma City and it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.

I have four pets back at home: two Shiz Tzu’s, named Shamu and Bella, and two brand new kittens, neither has a name yet, who I have yet to meet since my parents got them once I moved back to Norman for the school year. Here in Norman, one of my roommates has a one-and-a-half-year-old Catahoula, named Murphy, and my other roommate has a three-month old Orange Tabby kitten, named Mowgli. The crazy thing about the kitten here in Norman is that it is a girl Orange Tabby which is very rare since they are almost always boys.

If I had one extra day of fun where I didn’t have to worry about doing anything, I would spend it with my friends and family. I am happiest when I am simply surrounded by people I care about and get to make lifelong memories with them!
