NBA, You Make Me Mad

I can understand if people don’t like the Lakers. And, I can definitely understand why people wouldn’t like the deal they orchestrated to obtain Chris Paul. It is a step in helping the Lakers build a dominate team for many years to come. Bad news for teams like Dallas and Miami.

What I can’t understand [...]

Favorite Music Releases of 2011

The end of the year is quickly approaching, and this morning I was thinking back upon all the great music the year brought. So, I thought I would list my five favorite releases for 2011. But, when I sat down to do it, I had trouble limiting the list to just five. So, I present [...]

Major labels to abandon CDs in 2012

Here’s the news I’ve been dreading for quite some time. I can’t say it surprises me but… dang.

My fear is that this is going to negatively affect the few record stores that are left and drive up prices of used discs.

Fears aside, it just saddens me that a whole generation will [...]

Gmail for iOS?

So, rumor has it that Google is working on a Gmail app for iOS. They may have even submitted it for review already.

My question is why? Why would someone need to use the Gmail app?

I’m tired of Partisanship

I got to thinking yesterday, when I heard that the House had voted down the President’s Jobs Bill, that I’m really tired of partisanship. What happened to compromise? What happened to working together toward the common good?

It’s really upsetting to me when votes fall along party lines and nothing gets done. Now, I’m not [...]

There’s Power in a “Like”

If you thought Facebook was good, harmless, fun, think again. I read this story recently on Mashable.com: Man Assaults Wife for Not “Liking” His Facebook Update (http://mashable.com/2011/10/09/man-assaults-wife-facebook/).

Apparently you should think twice about liking, or not liking, someone’s posts. Consider this your warning.

It is interesting though, the amount of validation we can get [...]

Remember Him

Do this in remembrance of me.

Why would Jesus ask his followers to take a peice of bread and some juice and remember him?

Was he afraid they would forget?

I forget things all the time. I can get up, walk into a room and completely forget what I was doing. I forget [...]
