"Cardboard"

I'm obsessed with my new DSCVR viewer! My iPhone 5c fits in perfectly, and the silicone strap keeps it secure. Though the silicone is already showing signs of wear, so I'm wondering how I'll fix it when I need to.

I'm finding and bookmarking apps. So far, I've been to maybe 32 different countries and cities (and national parks!) that I've never been to via Google Maps.

I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts. And if you have some favorite visits/tours, I'd love to hear those, too!

Traveler IQ Challenge

I need to either do a little more travelling or study up on geography a little more.

I took the Traveler IQ Challenge and didn't do so well. This is a fun way to learn your cities!

Change Your Forms Background

Changing the Background

By default, the background color is purple. I love purple, but sometimes that's just not "doing it"!

1. Click on color picker and select color

2. Add a custom picture/photo: click on color picker and select image icon in bottom right corner

But sometimes I want a custom image that "speaks" the the respondent!

3. Select a theme OR select Upload Photo

"Google Ideas"

Sometimes we forget about the billions of people who are coming online for the first time! We take our access to the world wide web for granted.  Google is out there helping!

Google Ideas builds products to support free expression and access to information for people who need it most--those facing violence and harassment.

According to Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman Google: "Billions of people are coming online for the first time. Many will rely on the internet not only for access to information but also for free expression."

Google Maps Location History

I just discovered this by viewing a presentation by Fennovation.org.

Location History

Google Maps tracks your steps and then you can retrace them using Location History. Maybe you left your phone or purse somewhere but you can't remember.... check out where you've been! (Kinda creepy!)
