Being “green” (environmentally) is complicated.
I used to think it was simple, probably like many other people think. Just look for an “organic” label, right? Recycle = good, right? It’s easy to do these things and feel good about ourselves, thinking we’re saving the world.

A couple months ago I decided to consolidate all my comics and blogging into one site, instead of three to five separate mini sites that rarely get updated. Yay, since now I have one site that’s still rarely updated.
This “new” site will pretty much be my old “Quarter-Life Comics” site, with the addition of random guides. I enjoy learning new things and documenting what I learn for others to learn from, so I hope people find some valuable stuff here. Also, since it’s usually stuff I learn and not exactly things I’m a lifetime expert in, I welcome any feedback, corrections, and additional edumacation you can offer.
Feel free to leave comments (now applicable to the comics, too :oP :o) ).
I’m a big fan of IWillTeachYouToBeRich.com, so I have to mention the site at least once. :oP :o)
There’s a post with some great advice on applying to a job you’re really interested in. The site’s focus is finance for young graduates, but really touches on the many aspects that make achieving your goals possible, such as eliminating barriers, starting early, and knowing you don’t have to be the smartest person in the room.

Why go to school? Most would agree it’s to prepare ourselves for our futures. However, it seems most of those peoples’ approach is to prepare themselves… on paper. Examples: In high school/college, why get good grades, high test scores, join clubs and do community service? Because it looks good on your college/grad/med school application/resume.

I am now a teacher, so naturally my posts will be more teaching-oriented. However, I have not detached myself from my computer side (I actually teach two periods of a computer class)… thus, I give you… stuff that’s relevant to teaching and computers. Yesss!
Keep in mind I’m in LAUSD, so my posts may be more relevant to teachers in LAUSD.
Q: Can I download a YouTube video to my computer to show in class later?
(Some background info on this question: All LAUSD schools block access on their networks to YouTube (and other sites). Even if you don’t have this problem, you may want to save a YouTube video in case you don’t want to rely on having internet connection during your lesson.)
