Easybib
Three things I liked about this tool.
- I liked that you could really in a way create an online p bibliography page for your self.
- It's very easy to use you only put the keywords and many sites will appear that you can choose from.
- For the bibliography you can and things from cites, books, newspapers, journals and more.
Three things that I didn't like about his tool.
- Some thing that I didn't like was it was only for adding information from others notes not your own like it would be great to use as a portfolio.
- It could improve by having a facebook login so that you don't have to remember more passwords.
- It could be cool if you could do online collaborating with other students and/or teachers.
I Could use this tool to gather up information for a paper that I have to do. I can have the cites and all bibliographies all ready to help.

Three things I liked about this tool.
- I Liked that it was easy to download and is a side bar on google chrome and gmail.
- It's very secure because it ask you if it can scan your inbox so that you don't need to put in a password. It helps google know you authorized it.
- It shows the brands it recognizes from your mails and it asks you which ones you want.
Things I didn't like or can make better.
- You can only organize the brands and not the personal mail which aren't from these brands.
- Only works on google chrome; they should let it work in other browsers.
- Only works for gmail; should work on other mail sites such as hotmail.com, yahoo.com and others
I could be able to use this when i'm going to travel and i'm expecting emails from big brands and/or travel agencies.
Can use it when you need jobs and you send all your papers and when you receive a mail you know exactly were it comes from.

white hat hackers
I really know a little about white hat hackers:
- It's a term used for a computer hacker or a computer security system.
Questions:
- What do they do?
- Is there other types of hat hackers and what do they have in common or different form white hackers?
- Whats the definition of white hat hackers?
Good links I used:
- http://www.secpoint.com/What-is-a-White-Hat.html
- It's a term used for a computer hacker or a computer security system.

- Whats the definition of white hat hackers?
Good links I used:
- http://www.secpoint.com/What-is-a-White-Hat.html
Things I learned:
- White hat hackers definition: A hacker which try security systems to see if there any vulnerability of the system and will tell the page or place this is used (vendor).
- Theres not only white hat hackers but theres also black hat hackers and grey hat hackers. The black hat hackers are hackers which hack intending a crime. The grey hat hackers are much alike as the white hat hackers but they don't only tell the vendor they also tell crackers.
- The white hat hackers are said to be ethical hackers which only hack to see if the security system is good enough so that other hackers which are trying to do bad won't be able to hack it.
- These people are employed by the organizations to be the network security professionals. Most come from the CNS 4011 which are teams of hackers there red which act in aggression and the blue team which act in a defensive mode.
- White hat hacking started as a "security evaluating" by the U.S Air Force, they found out it had some vulnerability's. They also found out that the U.S had being doing this.
- The tactic of ethical hacking was made by Dan Farmer and Wietse Venema.
Summary: So what I learned was that there hackers that are used for good. This connects to my life because theres many people which maybe want to make other miserable by hacking there private things and the white hackers would already tell the security system of the vendors; like if I have my bank account and the hack the system to see whats wrong and need to be strengthened.
Questions I still have: How do you ask a white hat hacker to help you see if you security system is good?

- NYU (New York University)
My GPA is: 2.87
Irvine: I need better score im low
UCLA: very low from the asking GPA
UC Santa Cruz: Close but not enough
Pen-state main campus: close but not enough
What I need to do to get in 2 of them and get closer is have a 3 or higher on each of my classes and if I have a 3.2 on each class I will get up to a 3.6; but not close to UCLA for that I have to be great student.
This lets me know how theres many different colleges which are good too not only stanford or harvard and that to get into these colleges I need to bump up my grades the lowest GPA for one of these is 3.3 of UC Santa Cruz. I really liked this and will really look into UC Santa Cruz which was the one I liked the most.

Why is it good to do a portfolio for your college applications and what should be in it?
Useful links I found for my topic
- http://www.ownyourownfuture.com/files/documents/building-a-college-portfolio-e.pdf
Paragraph answering the question
- Portfolios are a way of organizing your Out and inside High School life. This is for the colleges to see what have you been doing out of school such as job related experiences, extracurricular activities, and also in school such as academically (Grades, extracurricular activities in school). This is helping for when you leave school; for your future. This reflects on how responsible you are with your time in other things that you have done great in life. Its and important indicator of future success. These portfolios should contain some things that will help these colleges see what you've done in High School.
Portfolios are organized in different sections such as Personal Information, Academic Information, Extracurricular Activities, his/her job history and social service and Resources. These things are reflected by their best things he/she did in life but also improvements in life not only academic but as a person. In this portfolio the Personal Information part is about your personal and family documents also about parents education and profession and special needs if he/she has any. The Academic Information is about all your school grades, test, GPA, recommendations, reflection on what classes he/she did well on and special assignments he/she did. Extracurricular Activities are like MUN, top dogs, leadership and others. The next one talks about job experiences and social service thing you did. The last part is were you keep all the college information and things about it because you have to start preparing for college emotionally, financially and academically.

Google day 1
1. Download Google SketchUp and learn how to use the simple things.
2. Find out how to build and what great things you can do.
3. Start with a simple building
Good Links I used
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9yca5rdAuc
This one helped me install SketchUp for free to my mac.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsfH_cyXa1o
Great tutorial to start my google sketchUp building
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktjpUuzilLU
Another great tutorial I used to start my first building
What I did in class...
-This is what I created after 3 fail attempts. The first one didn't go as planed, the others had an error from my part. This last try turned out well it like a blue print in 3D scale of what I want to build.
- Also I learned about the different templates you can use in this "game". This is what made it so difficult at first but then I figured it out after the third try.
- For next class I would like to learn how to make a second floor and how to put thing inside the house. I will look for tutorials and ask my class mates.

Google 20% Project
For my Google 20% project I will be looking and learning about somethings in an architecture program called google sketchup. This will help me learn how to do blueprints, houses and other online ways of architecture. This program is great because it has all the tools you need to build a house, such as the doors, the length's and many other things. I will do everything from 0 until I have a perfect house.
I will present this by doing a video with my everyday progress. I'll start from 0 and accomplish my final project (house) which I will record this progress on my computer. I will also list the things that I have to accomplish to learn the great things this program has to show me. I will talk about how I learned how to use the skills I named and more.
