TweetToday I got an awesome email from Kim talking about the power of the internet and what it means to those who could access it.

Full StoryDan Rather Lecture at FIU
Tweet I’m a huge fan of Dan Rather and his work on HDNet.

TweetLast June I was laid off from my IT position at a small home automation company. I’m only 25 years old and I’ve always taken pride in my work and taken my career seriously.

TweetOn the 20th, I was fortunate enough to attend a show at the Improv in the Grove. One of the comedians was an obese local from the South Central hood of Kendall, and it was one joke he delivered that night that really stung me. If you’re under 30, or have less than 5 kids, [...]

TweetI know the video is well over a year old, but I thought it was an excellent video about a topic that has been covered often in the South Florida blogging community. It’s well worth your nine minutes of viewing time. [vodpod id=Groupvideo.3999187&w=425&h=350&fv=]

Full StorySurprise! Waste of money at FIU.
TweetJust in case you didn’t realize, the title was sarcasm. Surely it’s no secret that big organizations have waste, and in the big picture of life, this is probably not that big of a deal. But it is worth mentioning. Why were all these plasma TVs bought when the school has such a big budget [...]
