How do I find a college that is a good match for the career I want?

As i research some ways to find a good college to go to I found helpful this three links.
1:http://www.helpguide.org/life/finding_career.htm
In this website they explained how to choose the best career for you and why you should look forward to have a career.
2:http://jobsearch.about.com/od/careertests/a/careertests.htm
In this website they asked me to take a color test and said that I take a long time making decisions and that might affect me later in life. Truth is I think that is funny because it i not true. Actually I make simple decisions fast but i do take my time in decisions that might have a great impact in my life.  
3:http://www.wisechoice.com/
In this website I was asked to ask a survey and this is what they said about me :

• Because of your warm and agreeable personality, it's easy to get along with you.
• Your people skills are very strong, making you comfortable in most social situations.
• Meeting and opening up to new people is usually easy for you.
• You're quite versatile: You're comfortable spending time on your own, with a small group of good friends, or in a big crowd.
• Sometimes it feels better for you to do your own thing, but you usually don't mind jumping into what your friends are doing.
• You don't want to fade entirely into the background among other students, preferring to stand out a little and be a bit more of an individual.

Now I wonder if colleges take that into account? 

The Cloud

To be honest I really don't have a clue about what the Cloud is or how it relates to technology.
I wonder if the Cloud I am going to research about relates to the icloud in the apples products?
I also wonder if it is were computers stores its backup and memory?
As I research bout the cloud two links that i have found useful are:
1:  http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/what-cloud-computing-really-means-031
In this website I learned that Cloud computing is at an early stage and that it is a familiar Cliche to the internet but its definition goes much deeper. Cloud computing is the use of computing resources that are delivered as a service over the Internet. The name cloud comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with data, software and computation. 
2: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Before I started researching I was wondering if the cloud had anything to do with the icloud in the apple products. This website showed me the relationship between them. On one hand cloud computing is the use of computing resources that are delivered as a service over the Internet. On the other icloud is and easy way to store all of your music, games, and applications in all your apple products. In someways these two things relate and in others they don't. But now I have the answer to my question.

What I learned today:

• What is the Cloud
• Why it is important for us.
• How the cloud is important for computers.
• How the cloud is just starting and will develop through years.
• How does the cloud relate to the icloud.

As I researched today I realized that without the cloud we wouldn't be able to use computers as we do. 

Google day 1

Goals:

1: Learn how Photoshop started and how it has evolved as years pass. 

2: Learn what are the main Techniques of Photoshop.

3: Learn how to edit pictures.

Goal 1 (How did it start):  In 1987, Thomas Knoll, a PhD student at the University of Michigan began writing a program. This program, called Display, caught the attention of his brother John Knoll.  He recommended that Thomas turn it into a full-fledged image editing program.Thomas took a six-month break from his studies in 1988 to collaborate with his brother on the program. Then he renamed it  ImagePro. A year later he called it Photoshop. During this time, John traveled to Silicon Valley and gave a demonstration of the program to engineers at Apple and Russell Brown, art director at Adobe. Adobe decided to purchase the license to distribute in September 1988. While John worked on plug-ins in California, Thomas remained in Ann Arbor writing code. Photoshop 1.0 was released in 1990 for Macintosh exclusively. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop 

Thomas did the visual effects supervisor on projects such as "Mission Impossible" (1996), "Star Trek: First Contact" (1996), and "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" (1999). http://www.storyphoto.com/multimedia/multimedia_photoshop.html

Brief Photoshop Timeline 

1987 Thomas Knoll begins writing graphics subroutines on a Mac Plus.

1987 Thomas teams up with his brother John and combines these subroutines into an app. called "Display."

1988 Refined version of Display becomes "ImagePro."

1989 BarneyScan licenses the application to bundle with their slide scanner. About 200 copies are shipped.

1989 Adobe strikes a deal to license what becomes known as Photoshop. They begin 10 months of product development.

1990 Photoshop 1.0 ships in February.

1990 Version 2.0, code name "Fast Eddy," ships in the fall.

1993 Version 2.5.1 is released. One of the first apps to run native on a PowerPC chip. Also first release of Windows version (April, 93).

1994 Version 3.0 ships with the "Layers" capability.

1996 Version 4.0 ships. Controversial key commands are changed.

1998 Version 5.0, which includes the "History"palette, ships.

1999 Version 5.5 ships: the first true "web ready" version of the app.


Goal 2 (Photoshop techniques): 
http://www.eyesontutorials.com/articles/19/1/Fairy-Night/Page1.html (Fairly Night Eye)
This task we'll learn how to correct the photos' colors, change the eyes color, work with the layers, applying ready brushes and designs, create your own design and to picture the stars.

Today I learned many things today. I learned how Photoshop started, who created it and how it has evolved as years pass. I also learned that some of the the techniques used in Photoshop and I cant wait until I can start using them with some of my pictures.

Google 20%

          I am not an artist and I think I never will but as time passes I might need to know how to edit pictures by using photoshop. Considering that we have to do the google 20% project I think this would be a great oppotunity to learn about this.I would like to learn how to contrast colors in pictures. Also I think it would be interesting to learn how to bring two pictures together and make them seem like they are one. As I googled photoshop I realized that there are many cool things that you can do with pictures and it would be amazing if I could do that!
        
          In seven hours I wont be able to become an expert in this but at least I will know some stuff about it. Effects, color, and contrasts are just some of the things that seem really interesting about photo editing. For my project I think that it would be really cool if I took some pictureas around the school and edit them to see how they turn out. I could combine some pictures with others and use juxtaposition to contrast things that might be total opposites or not related with others.

       I think this project will be amazing and I will many things from it.
