Create Your own Polls and Quizzes using Google Docs

With Google Docs you can create a form using a spreadsheet and actually collect information in a form on your website. The information is stored into the spreadsheet where it can be summarized, manipulated and if you wish you can display the results on your website. How cool is that? Suddenly you can transform your website inexpensively into a data collection engine for you and your business. Imagine creating surveys, polls, quizzes, and other types of forms that work almost magically.

Last month at the Lone Star Ruby Conference in Austin, I saw Fernand Galiana speak about using Ruby for home automation. He used his iPhone and about ninety pounds of various equipment to control lights, iTunes, and other gizmos. All the while the system running on Linux MCE posted events to Twitter.

I’ve not posted since Febraury. I had even forgotten how to post, password, and everything else. A quick read through the Scanty code brought it all flooding back to me. I forgot that it uses Markdown until 2 or 3 posts after this one. I’m reversed gears or so and fixed up everything. All is right with the world now.
