What's Up With Myspace? →
I have a serious question - who out there still uses Myspace? In a way, I feel bad for this social network.

In Loving Memory
9/11/01
Have you ever smelled a burning body? Let me tell you first hand, it’s a smell you can never forget. I know that my blog entries are usually cheerful or enlightening, but in honor of those who perished on September 11, 2001, I wanted to share a personal story about witnessing the worst attack in American history from the suburbs of New York.

You're Branded
You heard it right - you’ve been branded. Now, before you go checking for any marks on your body and dialing 911, let me explain. Since the day you were born, you’ve been judged by everybody you’ve met - by your family, your friends, your spouse, your coworkers, even complete strangers with whom you might only have had a second of interaction. Even people who only pass you by...
