PostSecret, Oh Where Art You?

My typical Sunday morning browsing starts with a stop at PostSecret which is an ongoing artistic effort that posts secrets sent in on postcards by its loyal followers. This morning I was greeted with a “page not found” type error. Hopefully the site will come back cause I really enjoyed the new secrets every week. […]

NxE’s Fifty Most Influential Bloggers

Finally a list of highlighted bloggers that deserves recognition. Half of the time, the lists put out to the internet are nothing more than linkbait, but this list seems to be quite good. I can’t say I read ever one, religiously anyway, but I would say I am subscribed to about 90% of them. (The […]

Bridge Aftermath

I, like many others, have been watching the 35W bridge tragedy in Minneapolis unfold over the last couple days and it seems the footage never gets old. It’s really amazing how the bridge just collapsed without warning. Not sure why, but there is just something about this photo… Technorati Tags: bridge, Minneapolis

Why Image is Everything

Ever notice that the best blogs are written by people who either don’t have a day job (ie: they don’t work for Corporate America) or blog anonymously? I think I figured out why today. I have a lot of experiences that I would love to share here that are funny, witty, and sometimes downright hilarious. […]

Social Networking or Blinking Crap?

I have avoided myspace like the plague since it went live. I saw all the poorly designed pages with music playing and blinking crap everywhere. Nothing but teenagers whining about parents and curfew… A bloody nightmare! So I also stayed clear of all the other knock-offs that have come out since (Friendster, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc). […]

Fighting the RIAA

As part of its stepped-up efforts against file-sharing on college campuses, the RIAA has begun filing lawsuits against college students who don’t take advantage of the group’s discounted settlement offer. A student at Boston University is fighting back, challenging the RIAA’s system of filing John Doe lawsuits in order to discover the names connected to […]

Man in wheelchair takes ride on semi’s grille

PAW PAW — A young man has quite the story to tell after his wheelchair got lodged in the grill of a semi truck, which dragged the chair and the man inside for five miles down a road. Muscular dystrophy forced Ben Carpenter, 22, of Alamo into a wheelchair eight years ago. He was on […]

The Golden Rule – Paris goes free

Those who have the gold make the rule, that is. Paris Hilton serves 5 days of 45 day sentence. She was originally sentenced to 45 days in jail, but that was reduced to 23. She served a total of five days — the normal stay for a violation of this kind. Her five days began […]

Blogs that Matter

Over the weekend, I cleaned out quite a few of the rss feeds that I read. I was getting close to 200 feeds and the amount of noise was just getting to be too much. Sorry, I’m not Robert Scoble. So how did I make the cuts? Easy, I looked through the list and if […]
