Interactive Image: My Summer 2014 Tech Travel Pack

My summer travel plan is in full effect.

Destinations

1. Akron, Ohio
2. Washington, DC
3. New York, NY
4. Montreal, Quebec
5. Cairo, Egypt

This is a shorter trip than trips in the past and I've tried to cut down on packing. However, I still have a need to have my technology when I travel. I like to document the sights and sounds and just tech out new gadgets.

With that in mind, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you ... my Summer 2014 Tech Travel Pack!

I used Thinglink for this interactive image, so just click on the icon that correlates with the item to hear more about the item.

Testing Out SoundCloud's Audio Player

Testing Out SoundCloud's Audio Player

I use a good amount of web tools and technology.

Now that I'm a bonafide Apple Girl, I've been trying to get my MacBook Pro up to speed w/all of my usual tools:

• Picasa
• Microsoft Office
• Evernote
• And a variety of fonts including my fav Pea Andrea

Right now, I'm testing out SoundCloud's audio player to see if I can do a few things:

• Stack multiple audio players (yes; see below)
• Create my own embeddable playlist in SoundCloud (yes, see last track; you have to create a set and then you can add tracks to the set)

The Egyptian Way :: The Egyptian Revolution - Fear and More Fear

The Egyptian Way :: The Egyptian Revolution - Fear and More Fear

During the Egyptian Revolution, I chose not to leave Cairo, Egypt where I live and work.

I've been reluctant to express my opinion about my experience with the Egyptian Revolution. This is not the appropriate platform for me to go into detail about why I haven't been saying much.

However, in this short podcast (really a test of using SoundCloud's Web interface for recording), I talk about how fear seemed prevalent in the early days of the protest.

My apology in advance for the sound quality; I failed to turn off the heater in the room while I was recording.
