Blog Friends
How do you thank a friend for all that they do? I know that showing appreciation for regularly daily acts is something that is often overlooked. I want to make sure that I don’t make that mistake, again. I have been blogging just a few short months but I have been fortunate enough to become…

Autograph from a Hip Hop Legend
This is a picture of the album cover I got signed on the weekend. I got signatures from some legends in hip hop; Masta Ace, Wordsworth, and Punchline. These three emcees have joined forces with Stricklin to form the supergroup EMC. They performed Friday Night at The Opera House in Toronto. I tell you, it…

Internet Privacy
I don’t think that there is any privacy on the Internet. The Internet is too big of a community that is not sufficiently policed. Anyone can get online and access all sorts of information that I would normally have considered private. For instance, I googled an old acquaintance and found a newsletter from her company…

It Doesn’t Mean Anything
I would like to comment about the ribbon campaign. You know the one I am talking about, right? The one where you wear a ribbon to show your support of a very important cause. I am being deliberately vague here because there seems to be a new ribbon and a new cause every day. The…

Preserving Memories

Research has Changed Dramatically
Research has changed dramatically since I was in school. I remember in elementary school the libraries still had card catalogues.

Three Easy Pieces
I ran to the record store today with determination. I hadn’t heard one song off the album I went to buy but I didn’t need to. I knew that this album would be good. And I was right. Most bands seem to change their sound every album. The artists always claim that it is a…
