Have You Ever Heard Of….?

March 12, 2013

The other day I received one of the greatest compliments of all time on my Facebook timeline. Lauren Dedecker, a member of the Delta Gamma chapter at UC Davis and a blogger herself, shared her thoughts about my “Learn Techno Logic” blog & the recent posts I’ve made. Here’s what she said: Reading this thread […]

Dropbox, as many of you know, is a free service that lets you bring all your photos, docs, and videos anywhere. Log into the Dropbox application on any device, or simply insert the URL in your browser, and all your uploads are accessible. Why “drop” off photo & video files yourself when they can pick-up? […]

Are you using the Square app yet?

If not, you should start. I’ve been trying to convince my friends to use the app, but I think the extra accessory threw them off. It complicates the process of attaining the app. iPhone users have thousands of apps available for them to download on the App Store, why download the “Square” application when you […]

You can download this app for free on iTunes. It is available on your phone AND your mac. The layout is simple, and the app is straight-forward and easy to […]

IFTTT is short for one of the newest trending sites, “if this, then that”. You basically create short cuts (or recipes as the site calls them) for all your apps online (i.e. facebook, pintrest, e-mail, etc..). At first I didn’t really understand the concept behind this site, so I never took the time to really […]

I am horrible at updating my blog with my online discoveries. I switch off between two browsers (Chrome and Safari) and I put sites and other things in random folders or bookmark them and then lose them all. Luckily, I was able to find a few things this past week that may interest you. I’ll […]

Natalie K Swope

Bibliophile Unbiased Blogger Precautions Creative Logical Resourceful Curious Universal Mélome

My first name reflects my family's unparalleled love for the actress, Natalie Wood.

My last name is German and it means "pig farmer" in English, so I'm sure you're extremely jealous.

My sister and I share the middle name "Kyong", pronounced key-young in Korean. it means bright, shining star. It is the first name of my mother and her six sisters.

I am currently a 3rd year undergraduate at University of California, Davis majoring in Computer Engineering and minoring in Technology Management.

Aside from my programming experience, my involvement with the campus community in Davis has allowed me to express my creative mindset in a variety of settings. I belong to both a social sorority Delta Gamma on campus as well as an academic club (Society of Women Engineers).

Because of this, I communicate with a wide spectrum of individuals. The differences between these two groups have developed my perspective on the relationship between technology and customers. Many technical companies today are filled with engineers who create products that reflect their own interests, rather than the interests of the public. I believe that I can create the solutions to problems that satisfy public interest.

My blog, swopeswope, is about my life mixed technology. I know that’s broad but I don’t want to narrow it down since tech is all over now-a-days. I spend almost 75% of my time exploring the web that but 9 times out of 12, I’m checking out articles on sites like TechCrunch, Inc., and AllThingsD. I also write articles for the site, HackCollege.

I’ve always loved art. I draw, paint and sketch on my bamboo tablet when I have free time. My pictures communicate my ideas — my perspective of the world. I grew up believing such ideas were unrealistic, sometimes even immature. But maybe that’s what people said about laptops, bluetooth speakers, and touch screens. The only way to make an idea a reality is to dream in a world without bounds; a world of information & technology.
