The Death Penalty

It’s hard for me to sit here tonight and say I advocate the death penalty in certain situations with the execution in Georgia of Troy Davis.  In the past, I have been of the mindset and wrote an essay in college about how if you are able to drive a car and have a license, [...]

Netflix and Price Increases

Netflix recently raised the prices of streaming and DVD plans (link). It enraged a lot of subscribers who are seemingly jumping ship because the price is not justified. While I am not furious over it, I think it would be justified if they had more titles available for streaming. In that way, I could switch [...]

Man robbed because of Twitter? First possible Twitter robbery

In quite possibly the dumbest news story of the day, a man who posted on Twitter that he made it to Kansas City had his house in Arizona robbed presumably later that day. He feels that it might be connected to his Twitter post: We made it to Kansas City in one piece. We’re visiting [...]

Earth Hour 2009

Earth Hour 2009 is happening tonight, Saturday 28, 2009 at 8:30PM your local time. Anyone participating? All it requires is turning off your lights for an hour to promote global awareness. So why not participate?!

Pat McDonough – ‘Speak English’ campaign

In the past few years, there’s this politician that has come along named Pat McDonough that decided it’d be an excellent idea to have his campaign revolve around speaking English and flaunting signs that read “Speak English!” To him I say: Shut up. When did America become the place were English is the official language [...]

D.C. Photography Ban

There was an interesting Flickr group and new segment on Fox News ( video ) about a photographer that decided that after taking pictures in a public place and being approached by security guards he’d speak up and rally against this action by the security guard. According to the video and posts on Flickr, he [...]

Why are some internet users so naive?

There was an interesting study I read about recently regarding computer users and entering in sensitive information into web forms such as their ‘bank’. What the study showed was that users generally ignored the fact that they were not on a secure site or even their bank’s site. Here’s a quick breakdown of the study: [...]

Sirius and XM Merger?

I heard about it last night and it angers me. I’m not sure what all of the hype is about since none of this is official (i.e. has not been approved). It still has to be approved, making it a huge monopoly if approved and making things interesting. So that doesn’t mean this will actually [...]

Heads Up! Suspicious Accounts and a Possible New Spam Technique?

I have a feeling that there might be a new spam robot going around with the user handle: “janeseymore09092″ Recently on my other site (which attracts a few visitors here and there) The Dangers Of MySpace, I noticed a new account. No one has ever registered for this site and I have since taken down [...]

Graduate of the University of Delaware!

Yesterday, I graduated (officially) from the University of Delaware. Commencement was held at 10:20AM and lasted for about two hours. It was pretty neat and short enough that people weren’t getting antsy, granted only winter and summer graduates attended so it was significantly less than that of a spring graduation. To add to that, I [...]
