shopping column on the right hand side.\u00a0 That&#8217;s right&#8230;. <a

stumbled onto this site while shopping on the internet (which we do A LOT of up here).\u00a0 Basically how it works is you go to the site, sign up, and search for a product or store.\u00a0 If it is one of the 700 stores that work with ebates.com they will track your order via a pop up window.\u00a0 When you make your purchase, ebates gives you some sort of rebate.\u00a0 Some are percentages others are like coupons giving you a discount.\u00a0 Four times a year ebates mails you a check of your cumulative rebates.\u00a0 Erin has received one check already, so it really does work.\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t cost a thing and I think Erin believes it gets you into heaven earlier.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 You know how I talk about computers all the time.\u00a0 Well with her is all about the savings she&#8217;s made with ebates, or the deals she has found on drugstore.com.\u00a0What else happened today&#8230;..\u00a0 Schools was a little crazy.\u00a0 The kids were a little worse than usual.\u00a0 Which is a bit frustrating.\u00a0 After working with the same kids for over a year and half it gets old seeing them pull the same crap you dealt with last year.\u00a0 We have kids that should be in Jr. High that are acting like they are in 2nd grade.\u00a0 It&#8217;s tough when they don&#8217;t have any idea how students act in school.\u00a0 So they get stuck in their little petty games.\u00a0Enough negativity for the day I think.\u00a0 We had an amazing sunrise this morning.\u00a0 I unfortunately don&#8217;t have a digital camera, so I had to enlist Paul to go out and take a picture for me.\u00a0 He did one better and used the built in pano stitcher on his canon powershot s500 (a sweet camera).<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> \t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\"

Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"-1\">After school, I sat down with one of the Jr. High students (Sharosha) and he built the boys basketball page on the Brevig website.\u00a0 He resized pictures, compressed videos, and typed up the little review.\u00a0 I am hoping I can get a few kids excited about the webpage, and hopefully can get them to take over the project.\u00a0 I have started to scale down the difficulty of the site.\u00a0 Removing a lot of the layers I have used in the past.\u00a0Wales (one of the schools in our district) just came out with a <a href=\"http:\/\/waa.bssd.org\/site\/\" target=\"_self\">new website<\/a>.\u00a0 It is really nice.\u00a0 Very professional looking.\u00a0 They used PHP, which is way above my head.\u00a0 I am intrigued by it and downloaded part of a book on how to create your own site with PHP and MYSQL.\u00a0 The cool thing about sites designed using these techniques is they are database driven.\u00a0 When a page loads it goes back to the server for info in each part of the page.\u00a0 Giving you the opportunity to have up to the minute data on your site.\u00a0 I also want to figure out how to incorporate a way for people to post feedback on topics on a site.\u00a0 Stuff I need to read up on and learn how to do.\u00a0 The problem is PHP and MYSQL is all done in code.\u00a0 So it takes the visual part out of it.\u00a0 The end result it fun, but he building process is pretty boring unless you like to look at code.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guess what
