Ever feel like life moves too fast?  Like new technologies evolve too quickly and you can't keep up?  Like there should be a way to make things easier, and you just don't know where to look?

A new website launched recently that aims to present new web tools and techniques to those in higher education.  It's called Profhacker.  (http://www.profhacker.com)

Recently, they presented simple articles on...

• RSS:  How to leverage the power of RSS feeds to track your favorite web content from one interface instead of several individual websites.
• Google Docs:  How printing from Google Docs is a nifty way to create PDFs,
• A Student's Guide for Technology in the Classroom:  Because another perspective is always enlightening.
• Grading Rubrics:  Because it's never too early to think about it...
• Quick ways to improve your sylllabus.
