I'm a big fan of video. I fully surrendered years ago to the fact that I'm a huge walking case of ADD - just like the rest of my generation. It's much easier to watch something than to actually use more than 6% of our brain interpreting sequential strings of words into ideas. And now video [...]

I hate video games. Seriously. I hate them. All. More than that, I hate that video games- despite my avidly avoiding them- can still affect my life. Let me explain. My long distance boyfriend is twenty four years old. Steve is a college grad working and preparing for law school. He loves video games. He spends his [...]

I thought the videos were pretty funny. I think the real lesson though, is from the sponsor. Dewars could have done what it seems every other advertiser is doing on the web these days and just run a plug-and-play pre-roll ad that [...]

The Onion - America's Finest News Source Behold, America: The Onion is now in television. OK - so it's just the Web, but as far as I'm concerned the net IS television 2.0. Nonetheless, I was psyched as ever after watching (and continually re-watching) the Onion News Network promo, but it's first few clips leave me disappointed. Perhaps [...]

So this past week my apple crashed. (Sigh) I was so good to her, and loved her well...but she was acting kind of funny. She was distant, and got heated up very quickly. I must admit I did push her buttons, but what I though was right was really just wrong. In order to keep [...]

As a high school teacher, I decided to ask my students how they would react if MySpace suddenly disappeared. [...]

I quit Facebook the other day. People ask me a shocked, " Why!?" and I tell them it was just one more thing to monitor and there was a little bit of drama that came with it. I realized that I had too many accounts online for communication. I took a look at the [...]

Every day, every one of us uses a whole range of software to do a variety of typically related tasks. So, it seems obvious that each of the softwares that we use be able to communicate with its brother software. We all know this is not the case. Why? Why is [...]

A few weeks ago, I targeted the RED campaign as an example of philanthropist wanna-be's showing off for one another. Since then, I have changed my perspective almost completely. I am currently studying illness prevention/awareness campaigns for my rhetoric class. Because marketing is such an integral part of fundraising these days I wanted to look [...]

I used to make fun of those people I saw walking along the street with a determined gaze into their palms, where they were forever "thumbing" at a small electronic device ... seemingly oblivious to the world around them. Oops. Now I'm one of them. Over spring break, I was lucky enough to convince my father that [...]
