New Website

My husband showed me the coolest website.  Wolfram Alpha is amazing!  You can enter a math problem, elementary to advanced, and it will solve it for you.  Taking it a step further, it will show the work that got to that answer.  It's a teacher's worst nightmare!  You send work home, students get on the computer, plug in each problem, copy the work and the answer, then turn it in.  They didn't learn/practice anything!  

You can enter a city and it will tell you: population, elevation, nearest large city, local time, weather... you get the idea.  All the data you want, is right there (or will be, as the infamous "they" get it entered).  Health, nutrition, sports, education...  The list is  quite long.  It's a ton of fun!  I haven't had to use it yet for an actual purpose, but I think that when I do, it will be very useful.  Until then, it's an incredible way to waste time that should be spent packing, or doing laundry, or mopping (yeah, haven't done that yet.  oops.), or napping (which also sounds like a waste of time to some people, I know, but to others [like me] sometimes it's a necessity), or other productive things.  Check it out!
