One day when I was a kid, I was playing in my room with some building blocks, making towers for my baby brother to see and letting him knock them down. Because I had carpet on my floor, and I was making the tower real tall, I placed some books on the floor to provide [...]
Fox news took a page from Conan O’Brien (you don’t think they’re courting him too much, do you?). They took celebrity photos and mashed them with politicians, with some comic results. The one that got me the most was the James Bond image. While this one doesn’t use a politician, they took several actors who [...]
Suzanne Choney from MSNBC wrote this article last Friday detailing some research done as to whether the internet is helping or hurting human intelligence.

Awhile ago, eggs were considered healthy, then a report came out saying eggs were bad. Then, a few years later, another report said that eggs were [...]
This is for all the car fans and eco-friendly fans. Porsche has just unveiled a hybrid vehicle. So not only can you feel the wind whipping at your hair as you tear down the interstate, you’ll be doing a favor for the evironment as you do so. I hope these things don’t cost an S&P [...]
Are you a fan of the new layout? Do you have to spend 5-10 minutes just trying to figure out where to visit your profile? Do you find getting to your apps and games easier? I myself don’t think the changes are necessary. I could go into FB, check to see if there were any [...]
