Ode To MySpace
Written by Steve Angell   
Sep 24, 2008 at 01:00 AM

One of our newest (and very talented) writers, Sarah Vetter, has recently added a well-written article on her love for Facebook. She goes into great detail as to why Facebook is better than its competition, and what it is that makes Facebook so appealing.

I shall attempt to enumerate the many reasons I visit my Facebook page on a daily basis, sometimes more than once, and why my other profiles have gathered cobwebs in their little corner of cyberspace. And in this, my love letter to Facebook, I will not even mention...

Can you see the message within?

Someone To Be Proud Of
Written by Steve Angell   
Aug 15, 2008 at 01:27 AM

At a very young age we Americans are taught and trained on "American pride." That pride quickly turns to ego and entitlement, and before long we all believe that we are greater than other nations and nationalities. We take pride in the greatness of our basketball players, the strength of our military, and, more recently...

I may be the only person in the "civilized" world that feels this way, if the number of MSN.com and CNN headlines on the matter are any indication, but I frankly don't care that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie just had their first baby together. I don't even care to look at pictures of the kid...

Written by Steve Angell   
Apr 17, 2008 at 09:21 AM

We got money ta burn! 

One thing that I can't stand in this newly electronic world are "convenience" fees. For years the encouragement has been to use debit and credit cards more frequently (for safety, ease of use, etc.), but now there are businesses that want to charge extra for that convenience.

I could go on and on about how Pop Tarts are a great breakfast fix for the 21st century on-the-go lifestyle, or that I prefer them over cereal because...
