This morning I received an e-mail telling me that North Carolina had enacted a law set to go into effect July 1st, 2008 regarding cell phone usage while driving. I thought it sounded like a good law, and I was all ready to post a blog entry about this issue, when I decided to do…
SocialSpark: How I Survived Google Spanking Me
As you’ve probably noticed by now, I often write content that is sponsored, and I am pretty open about disclosing such things. At the bottom of most sponsored content, you’ll notice a small blue bubble that will say “Sponsored by” and then the advertiser name. However, some folks didn’t take kindly to any of my…
Getting My Ducks in a Row
Today I applied for grad school at the university I work for, and called some people to provide letters of recommendation. I also had to update my resume to submit alongside my application. It’s going to cost $40 to apply to this school. I’m applying to the Project Management program for distance learners (read: online…
Where My Tax Money Went: Sony Playstation 3
So it’s been about two months since I got my tax refund – and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using my new Playstation 3 that I purchased with that tax refund. Aside from the fun downloadable video game demos and 3rd party games that I got from the Playstation Store online, it’s also an awesome blu-ray movie…
My Buzz on Canadian Club
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a BzzAgent – which means I take part in consumer-driven word-of-mouth campaigns. We don’t get any kind of serious compensation except getting to try products for free or at a serious discount, or we get t-shirts or other cool stuff. This week I received a Buzz kit in the mail…
That Time We Don’t Talk About
Several years ago, when I was in school, my buddy and I decided it’d be a good idea to disappear for a couple of days and go have some fun on a road trip. This buddy, she likes to go on random “adventures” and get lost and not tell any one where she’s going, and…
Everyone Loves a LOLCat
It’s Thursday, the week is almost over, and soon it’ll be the weekend and you’ll be relaxing or running errands or doing something besides what you do all week long. If you’re low on motivational fuel or good vibes or whatever and just want a laugh, hopefully this lolcat will give you a quick pickmeup.…
It’s Time to Get Naked
If you’re not already Naked, you totally should be – if you’re getting ready to shower, that is to say. I’m talking about Naked Naturals shampoo and conditioner. I got a sample in the mail the other day of Naked Naturals Citrus & Keratin Fortifying Shampoo and Fortifying Conditioner. First of all, you should know…
iMovie Festival 2008
Last night I attended the first annual iMovie Festival at the university at which I am employed. It’s not the first ever held, just the first one here. I have to say, it was pretty enjoyable. I was expecting a series of more and more horrible films, and maybe a few shining-star examples that would…
You Ain’t Got No Alibi
Why on earth did God decide to put two starkly contrasting things together like cheerleaders and the cheers that they cheer? Cheerleaders are usually pretty hot, and the cheers they do are usually pretty annoying. It’s one of the stranger pardoxes in the universe. Company 81, a clothing company, has given access to their clothing…
