Diigo Questions

Diigo Questions

1.What's another way you can organize and store information on your computers?

Another way you can organize and store information on your computers is by bookmarking the websites onto a social bookmarking website, therefore whenever you need it you can always look on your social bookmarking website.

2.What have you learned from researching the above topics? What do you know now about those current events that you didn't know before?

I learned that many states are either considering to bend the law or to have stricter rules when it comes to serious problems. I also learned that there are a lot of ways to use social apps in class for projects. However, I didn't know that some states are considering to legalize marijuana, and due to the legalization teens usage of marijuana have decreased.

3.What are other social bookmarking apps/websites?

Some social bookmarking websites are Diigo, LiveBinders, Scoop.It, and Delicious. In all of these social bookmarking websites you can bookmark several websites so you can use it whenever you need to, and it keeps your bookmarks organized. 

4.Will you continue to use social bookmarking?

I will mostly likely continue to use social bookmarking because it is very helpful for school work, or projects because you can research websites and have them bookmarked to look at them later. Also, social bookmarking organizes your bookmarks by tags so you can find your websites faster and easier. 
    

Holiday Break

  During the break I went to New York, NY for the whole day with a couple of my friends. We went to all the attractions which can be seen here. It was very crowed, therefore we had to stay really close, and we had to save our money so we could pay for food, the subway, and the bus to go back home. We tried to wait to ice skate, but the wait was about four hours and we didn't have time.
  In addition, I went to the mall, stayed home and watched Netflix, and clean my house. My parents put a TV in my room and connected it to my Wii so I can watch Netflix whenever I want and my brother can play his Xbox all the time. I also looked on this website  to see what are some upcoming movies, or shows in January 2015. Overall, during my break I went to New York for a whole day, and then I stayed home everyday.

Web 2.0 Do now 12/15

    The quote "You must be the change you wish to see in the world," by Mahatma Gandhi makes me want to help change the world like: volunteering, having a good attitude towards others. In life, there will always be people who don't care about anything, and just live life with a horrible life; however, that doesn't solve anything in fact it just spreads hate around the world. Therefore, my goals in life are to help volunteer in several occasions. This can help change the world because while volunteering people will realize it doesn't hurt to help the world like cleaning up liter, babysitting, or helping senior citizens; not only will it help change the world but it will help get volunteer hours. Also, having a good attitude towards my obstacles will help spread positive things. Most people have a negative attitude which can lead others to think negative. However, my goal is to think positive because it can help change the world by showing others to always be optimistic.

   TGI Fridays

TGI Friday's Menu

     My favorite restaurant is TGI Fridays which opens at 11:00 am and closes 1:00 am. The nearest one to me is about 28 minutes away; however, you can find the nearest TGI Fridays near you here. They serve a variety of
food like: buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, and loaded potatoes skins which you can order from their signature appetizers. In their Jack Daniel's Grill you can order Jack Daniel's Rib-Eye, orJack Daniel's Ribs & Shrimp, There are more delicious foods which can be found on their website. However, my favorite dish would have to be their Jack Daniel's Burger filled with juicy meat, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, and a secret sauce; also topped with delicious fries.

Jack Daniel's Buger

     In 1965, the first TGI Fridays opened in New York at the corner of First Avenue and 63rd Street, and made $1 million dollars in their first year. During the year of 1970 TGI Fridays started to spread to different locations like: Tennessee, Dallas, and New York; to learn more on their history you can click here. This is my favorite restaurant because they have great service, amazing food that will send your taste-buds crazy, and it's a great place to get together with friends and family. Also, TGI Fridays is known for bringing people together. However, if you are still curious about TGI Fridays, you can check their reviews. Also, if it's your birthday they always sing happy birthday to you.
