Google Experimental (Labs)
Google labs is a site were you can try out new Google ideas like Aardvark because you can ask any question and it post your answer on the site and people answer it. You can also answer other peoples questions, these people are all over the United States. Another useful tool is image swirl, it's like Google images but you have tons of options of photos like if your looking for bears you can get a football team or a animal, with image swirl you can find just the football team. There is one more of these programs called Google Squared these program lets you type in a product and you can get information on it, it tells you the dimensions of the product, the price, and the place to get it. This is handy if you are looking for a TV you type in the product and the first one on the list is the most popular. Google Checkout is another cool gadget, it lets you sell items you have at your house and lets you post them on Blogger or Google.

My Delicious Bookmarks
Hello bloggers I'm here to day to blog about my Delicious account. Our school goal in computer class was to get fifty bookmarks by the end of the semester. These bookmarks had to be about school related and personal items. I picked these bookmarks because all of them came in handy for my school and personal activities, either it is a long URL like our PowerSchool website which shows our grade. Some of the things i picked include my avatar editor which allows me quick access to the website to create my own avatar, bing search engine, CNN news, and dictionary.com. I'm going to use my delicious account by adding important websites to help my school related activities.

How Does Technology Affect Society?
There have been a great deal of advancements in technology over the past decade. This includes the internet and web 2.0. I think these advancement in technology have been beneficial for our society of Otis-Bison High School.
These are some of my favorite technologies that have been beneficial to our society. Facebook, this has been beneficial because it allows students and teachers be connected to each other, the teachers are able to see what the students are putting on their Facebook profile, and it allows students to be able to talk to their friends via Facebook chat.
Playlist, this is a website that allows you to make your own music play list and post it on your blog, you can add as many songs as you want to and play them over and over again and you don't have to chose your songs. You can title your play list and add a description so if other people want to listen to it they can.
Youtube is one of my favorite music players because there are endless possibilities of videos on there. If you need an informational video to fix something there are all kinds of videos, but the fist one is probably the best because it rates them from the most views.
Arcade Pre Hacks is also another neat website because it lets you play games that people have been able to hack and give you all kinds of cheats for it. There all kinds of different games like shooting, RPG, fighting, action, and puzzle. Most games have cheats but other games don't which makes it more challenging because there is nothing to help you out. It's also nice if you can't beat and want to know how to beat it.
The radio is another music player. You can type in the name of an artist and it automatically finds a radio station that is playing them and if you really like the song you can buy that song. There are a few commercials but they aren't on there very often but they can get a little annoying but it's worth it because they can find any song.
This is my blog on technology. If you have your favorite technology that i didn't post please comment on it.

Slideshare
Today's blog is about the handy slideshare.net. This site allows you to upload slide shows from Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel. This is a good website if you need to upload your documents on to a blog or anything like that. Sometimes it can take a while to load the bigger the project the longer it takes thats the only downside.

The link to this site is on the top of this post. To make your avatar go to the link and type in your name and choose your favorite color which sets the color of your shirt.

To get your avatar on the blog, click the save button which is the far left button on the bottom, next click export it should bring you to a screen with your avatar on it with a red, green, and blue bar under it.
