Now that 2006 is officially over, it is time for me to look back and see how accurate my predictions were. Let us get started. -: Music :- Not sure about this one. 50 Cent actually had a record year with The Massacre selling over one million units. However, as predicted, ever since his album [...]
For Halloween this it looks like Google Book Search is making a some classic scary stories available for free. Some of them can even be downloaded in PDF format for printing and perusing at your leisure. Personally I prefer to get my digital books through Project Gutenberg, but people love Google so I figured I [...]
If you are one of those folks sitting on the fence about whether or not lawsuits have gotten out of control, then perhaps a little story about a school banning “touch” or “chase” games for fear of being sued will convince you. From the article: Officials at an elementary school south of Boston have banned [...]
According to a Seattle Times article, 13% of the people living in the Seattle area do not have landlines in their home. When I read that, I was a bit shocked. I know a lot of people still have their landlines, but I figured the number would be much higher as most people I know [...]

That is right. The Black Student Union was voted club of the year for ethnic & cultural. Yeah!!! Seeing as how I am a big BSU supporter, and a member on the board, this is definitely one of my proudest college (err, post college?) moments. Go BSU!!! Black Student Union: 2006 Cultural & Ethnic Club [...]
I landed safely in Phoenix, Arizona yesterday (thank you!). There are a few things that sort of stand-out about Phoenix when you arrive. Here are my very first impressions of Phoenix, AZ: 1. It is hot (outside). I hopped off of the plane and walked into a well conditioned airport. I walked outside the airport, [...]
I think this is one of the best written articles I have read in a long time. The NewsTribune did a made-for-TV style piece that walks you through the life of a few Tacoma city gang members. It differs from most media presentations of gang life, as it is factual, fairly unbiased, does not gloss [...]
