Let me Google that for you!

Do you ever get asked questions that can be easily searched and found on Google? Many times at work or in “real life” I get asked questions or I hear people with questions that they can just not figure out. I search Google. It’s my first reaction. It’s not always everyone’s first reaction though–no fault to them–it’s just not in their thought process. letmegooglethatforyou.com is a funny site where you search for something and it records the “complicated process”. It then gives you a URL to give to your friends to help them find their answer : ) . I believe I found this through Digg but I know Lifehacker mentioned it and it’s all around the web.

    Life

    I recently purchased a condo (with my parents assistance) in Plymouth, Minnesota. It’s not a bad place to live! So, I have been busy moving, fixing up and making it “home sweet home”. Work has been pretty busy ever since school began. This school year I am working more hours each day to help with our district’s Moodle site.

    New Learning & Projects

    Tech integration resource site/PHP & MySQL learning – Ever since last year I have seen tons of technology integration web resources and more each day. I wonder what is the best way to organize and share these resources? I have thought of a wiki, blog, Moodle, Delicious or maybe even just a regular web site. Each one of those ideas would be fine, really. However, whenever I start setting it up I have a change of heart and switch to another way. I have not come up with a solution I am 100% happy with.

    What I want to do is create a web site, using a database, to display and organize these resources. Why? Well, I think the possibilities are great and I can change whatever I want with the look and feel. Also, I have always wanted to learn MySQL and PHP. What a great way to learn!
