Welcome to another year of GrokIt!
GrokIt originally appeared 5 years ago. While teaching at RHS, I conceived it as the digital equivalent of the Do Now or activator you may be used to other teachers giving to you to start the class.
Interestingly enough, I believe the blog has taken up a much more important role in my classes.
I envision using GrokIt as a hi-tech portal to get you and your energies focused on the class topics of the day by hyperlinking around the net to:
•discover state-of the-art technologies
•bump into some engaging topic
•just enjoy a fun and interesting website.
My hope is to try to kindle a spark of interest in computers and technology.
After all, the World Wide Web and everything in it was created by software developers, computer programmers, web designers, all kinds of techie people of which you are the next generation.
I also want to create a class community, a public forum from which you could express your opinions and see the opinions of others about these topics.
So here's today's GrokIt:
My favorite magazine in the whole world is WIRED. As mentioned in Wikipedia:
Wired is a full-color monthly American magazine and on-line periodical, published since March 1993, that reports on how technology affects culture, the economy, and politics. Owned by Condé Nast Publications, it is published in San Francisco, California.

When President Obama surged 30,000 additional U.S. troops into Afghanistan in 2010, the new forces were concentrated overwhelmingly on two volatile areas of southern Afghanistan: Helmand and Kandahar Provinces. Now, as the troop surge is practically over, those provinces still rank as the most violent in the entire country! So why are they there ?
The DEA isn’t a military organization intresting
Sony launched its next-generation handheld gaming platform last year with a price tag of around $250 and a lineup of decent, but unremarkable games. Eight months later, we're still waiting for the game library to live up to the promise of the sleek hardware.

I don't believe that anything will happen on december 21, even though it is the end of the Mayan Long Calendar. I read that archiologists have discovered a continuation of the calendar at another site. Just another apocalypse histeria.
