My Very Own Search Engine

I created my very own search engine! I used the Google Custom Search Engine since I already had the account there. Unfortunately I couldn't think of anything better to call it than "Wendy Search" http://www.google.com/coop/manage/cse?cx=013351726181681466838:ndiij1ylgge. My problem is I don't usually spend a lot of time on the web so I don't have many sites I go to very often. I am caught in the public radio rut. This means I really must spend more time looking into using the web as a resource. It's a question of how you want to use your time. Or maybe I could be better informed in less time if I would put some time into finding resources.

There definitely could be some uses for the reference staff. Search engines about books, fun facts, word derivations, homework resources - all could be a little more pointed than the blunt tool of an all encompassing search engine.
