Feeling Lucky?

So I took time to check out google and see what all the comotion is about with this simple search engine. Well "simple search engine" is an understatement and the guys at google are working hard to make it more than a search engine. Google allows for a person to use search shortcuts like define:____ to immediately get dictionary results. Or weather:(zip code) to instantly have weather updates in that area. Google is simplifying search everyday. Google has taken "surfing the web" to a whole new level with its innovative technology allowing users to get the most and best from their search query. Google does not bombard surfers with Ads either. Ads on google pages are selected to be relevant to a search query, no more spam ads about nothing. If you search for islands, you will see ads of beautiful island hotels that maybe the next stop on your summer vacation. So, have you ever used the " I'm Feeling Lucky" link? Google is so confident in its premier search results that if you enter a query into the search bar and select "i'm feeling Lucky" they will lead you to the first page on the search results; also known as the top result for your query. Google has no limits so keep searching and google will keep improving!

Some Analytics

Google Analytics is probably one of the most interesting site I have ever visited. There is so much crazy stuff you can find on there. The statistics are insane. Google Analyitcs allow for a user to keep track of all of his/her website info from total views to the geographic location of the IP address that accessed the page. It was extremely interesting to see the charts of the Stratton Mountain School website. The views were really los while the kids were on spring break and as soon as school started again, the page views skyrocketed as every student accessed his/her portal to view the homeowork that they procrastinated on until the day before school! Google Analytics is super important for users because it can show them which pages are viewed the most which can help them to keep these pages interesting and by showing the least; can give them a heads up on what they need to change to bring more views. so for any blogger or page owner out there definately set up a Google Analytics account and prepare to be amazed !

Beep test and Nikons

Beep test tomorrow. That is porbably the worst thing an Alpiner at SMS can hear. Its really starting to get to me. Morgan and I have been obsessing over it. I ate 3 bananas at dinner;kind of a potassium overload haha-whatever if it helps. What is making me happy is the thought of my new camera. The Nikon d5000...so pumped. Just sold my p90 for 3 hundo to my good friend. My mom also made a deal with me, if i score over a 2100 on my SAT bam...18-200 Nikkor zoom lens VR. Need to prep up because that lens is so sweet. I have been obsessing over that camera now for days. I can't wait to go home and get it all set up. I am so amped. Photography is a great hobby to get lost in...its just kind of hard to keep money from getting lost too ! I am excited to get into photography though; there is so much to learn about. To think of it, it like learning a new language with all the settings and types of modes to shoot in. I have got a lot to learn but I like a good challenge. Mena and I are going to take this one head on. Her SB-600 comes in in 5 days and when cameras are hard enough adding a speedlight just adds a whole nother dimension of comfusion !! Well, the more the better !

Not Just Another Status Update...

What are you doing? in 140 characters or less is the question on the lips of every "tweep" in the "twitterverse". But what makes Twitter so addicting and easy for the outside world, the average people? Twitter gives the common man a chance to tell the world what he is doing, put himself out there. It is a site for the unheard to be heard. Twitter is growing at a rapid pace and some non-twitter users are flabbergasted. They cannnot see what all the chirp is about,"its just another pointless status site". Twitter is not just another status update. It allows the world to interact with each other. See that there are other people out there just like them. Twitter has become a great site for promoting ideas and events such as music concerts and political canidates like John Edwards. All you have to do is embrace the question they ask. You speak and people will listen. Grab a computer, pull up the page, and join the rush. Welcome to the Twitterverse; What are you doing?

Builiding a Blog

So I just blew a whole night on setting up this blog, wow this is addicting! While I was sitting here and writing my info I stopped and thought to myself, "my life is crazy" and well the truth is...it is ! SAT's are may 1st and I starting to get really nervous. Here we go, 11 years of schooling all add up to this freaking test...this is asinine. but anyway. I am pretty nervous, cannot wait till that is over. So on top of that, the alpine team has physical testing on monday and beep test is scheduled for monday morning at 6am (if you dont know what beep test is google it). I cant stand physical testing. I just found out today that our new snoboarding program director is Olympian Ross Powers, thats pretty cool! Well its getting pretty late here so I gotta catch some zzz's. -xoxo
