Goggle Docs

At the present, I'm writing a paper with a friend of mine, which we hope to have published and present at a conference. The cool thing is, we are writing this paper without emailing it back and forth or sharing the same computer. We have over 1,000 miles separating us, yet we are able to work almost side-by-side! The Internet allows us to do just that! We are using Google Docs to process, edit, and save our work. We each have a log-in that allows only the two of us to view and work on the paper. It automatically updates and saves all the changes with a running history of who and when the changes are done. This is so cool!! What did we ever do before all of this technology?!? It took much longer to collaborate, that is for sure!

Did you see it?!?

Today at approx 11:50 AM, I had chance to step outside the school building and witness something incredible! The space shuttle passed over on its way to land at the KSC in Florida. The truly amazing thing is I went inside and 5 minutes later was watching a live broadcast of the shuttle approaching the space center! In less than 20 minutes after watching in the sky here in the middle of the United States, I watched the shuttle come to a complete stop on the runway at Kennedy Space Center! It blows my mind how far technology has brought us and where it is leading us into the future!
