Choose a college that fits your budget

The Chicago Sun-Times published a great article today that encourages parents to think twice about where they send their kids to college.  Many public universities are just as respected as more expensive private universities - you just have to know where to look.  Do some market research!  By choosing wisely, not only will you save […]

Can we cut Keifer some slack?

America needs its weekly fix of Jack Bauer!
Unfortunately, we might be in some trouble. If Keifer Sutherland faces any kind of jail time for his recent DUI bust, it could throw 24’s January premiere into serious peril. As a huge fan of the show, this does not please me. So I am […]

Buy an Axim, seriously

I bought a Dell Axim x30 this summer before coming back to school - a little bit for it’s organizational capabilities, but mostly so I could play around on the internet during class.  Yeah I know, that is time I should spend paying attention, but English majors have notoriously boring classes.  Anyway, the Axim has […]

Thank you, Philadelphia Eagles

A bit off topic, yes, but I felt that I would use my soapbox here to publicly thank the Philadelphia Eagles for turning in a complete game.
