Google Job Search

Google is a very big corporation.  Obviously.  What is cool about Google is that there are many jobs that they offer.

Google Drive on iPad

Today I downloaded the Google Drive application onto my iPad. Like I have posted about before about Google Drive, it is very handy to do it on the iPad. Like most things on the iPad vs. the computer, the iPad has less options than the computer. The iPad lets you collaborate on everything that you can on the computer, but you can only create a spreadsheet and document from the iPad. You have to have already created a presentation or drawing on the computer for you to edit a presentation or drawing.

Google Drive

Today I fiddled around with Google Drive.  Google Drive is a fun, and productive way for several people to collaborate on one presentation, document, drawing, and other various projects.  You can send your project to people, or leave the project open to the internet.  I found that using Google Drive can be very simple, helpful, and productive.  I hope you find Google Drive to be as useful as I have. 

Animating Text

Today I explored two websites that can animate text.  FlashVortex and Glowtxt.

I added two of FlashVortex's animations to my blog.  It is a big disco themed banner that welcomes you to my blog.  The other animation that I added from FlashVortex is a clock.  FlashVortex doesn't just do banners and clocks either.  They also allow you to create texts, menus, and buttons.  You can also put any color in the color wheel on your animations.

Glowtxt is another cool website that you can use to create an animated text.  Glowtxt has a wide variety of fonts to choose from as well as many colors.  You have the option of making your text pulse with color, or swipe with color.

Go check out FlashVortex and Glowtxt now!!

Googles

There are many Google tricks that are out on the internet.

One cool thing that Google does is Google Loco.  Google Loco is fun because the "Google Loco" logo is moving around; not only that, but each time your courser is in the search bar, the search bar changes color.

Google Chuck Norris.  Nuff said.  ITS CHUCK NORRIS.  Every time you go to the Google Chuck Norris website, you are in for a surprise.  If you proceed and Google something in Google Chuck Norris, it takes you to a Chuck Norris Joke website.  Regardless of your search.

Weenie Google is a form of Google that you should use if you are a weenie.   When you go the the Weenie Google site, it goes from full frame, down to very small to simulate Google being a weenie.  It even has an "I'm Feeling Inadequate" button.    

Add-ons

The Calculator is a good add-on for obvious reasons.  If you are doing homework, or just simply need to figure out an equation, get the calculator add-on. 

BrowserNation Football is another cool add-on because it gives you quick access to your favorite football team. 

Converter seems to be the most interesting add-on because it lets you take a metric unit of measurement, and change it into a customary unit of measurement. 

ESPN Cricinfo is a sidebar add-on that is very handy to those sports fans that spend a lot of time working on the computer.  When you are working, you can get the latest sports news. 

Find Chord is an awesome add-on for those rockin' guitar guys.  Like me!!  It helps you find a guitar chord if you don't know what it is, or you are having a hard time playing a certain chord. 

Free Games is just a simple add-on that is a stress release.  A long day can be a lot easier if you spend five short minutes on a computer game.

Gmail Manager is a helpful add-on that lets you manage multiple accounts in Gmail if you happen to have several.

The Mouse Clicker Counter is a fun little add-on that keeps track of your right and left clicks.  It is very interesting to see the number of clicks you spend on just one website.

I have posted about personas before, that is an add-on by itself.  A persona lets you change the background of your Firefox.

Search image by Google is an add-on that lets you search for something by using the add-on and not having to go to the Google website.
