Stay fit with this kit 

Fitness has become a major trend in recient years among college students. We are going to the gym on a regular basis, watch out what we eat and try to stay in good shape. Here's an idea of how you can keep your health under supervision:

Fitbit Flex Wristband

This little piece of beauty is designed specifically to keep track of your sports life and performance while staying fashionably beautiful on your wrist.

This slim, stylish device is with you all the time. During the day, it tracks steps, distance, and calories burned. At night, it tracks your sleep quality and wakes you silently in the morning. Just check out the lights to see how you stack up against your personal goal. It’s the motivation you need to get out and be more active.

Make it yourself - IT style

So I bet many people would like to make their own website, different from a blog, but simply lack the skills to do so. It's been a real pain in the neck for lots of organizations both on and off campus to find people to make their website for free or as cheap as possible.

The solution to this problem is http://www.squarespace.com/

This website offers both experienced and rookie developers and users to build their own website in an easy, interesting, cheap and fast way.

Squarespace is a SaaS-based content management system (CMS) which is composed of a website builder, blogging platform andhosting service. The service allows individuals and businesses to create and maintain websites and blogs.

I SEE what you did there

Back in the 60s and the 70s people thought that in the begining of the 21st century people would be driving flying cars, have hologram phones and TVs and travel in space... well... we are getting there:

I give you the Oculus Rift:

The company receintly joinned Facebook in order to get to their goal faster and put a ready product in the users' hands. What they are offering is a true augmentation of the virtual reality. It is designed for gamers only (for now) and it puts you in the action. The display inside captures your whole eye-sight. 

Gamers are one step closer to entering a whole new virtual world and challenging themselves in a way they never before had the chance to experience.

Let me write this down and up for you

Since we are in the new age where phones tell us everything we need to know, watches are more powerful than a 5 year-old computer and glasses show us the path to the grocery store, how about we take something as simple as writing and give it a little twist to make it futuristic... oh wait... someone already did it!

The 3Doodler:

The guys from 3Doodler took writing and drawing to a whole new level. This innovative "pen" is designed to draw in the air, follow shapes on paper and then recreating them in 3D and has potentially endless possible ways to be implemented. 

Here are some examples done with this amazing gizmo:

Need a quick ride to the office? No problem, just draw yourself a bicycle:
