  • What being a good friend in your twenties means

    It’s hard watching your friends do things to themselves that hurt. Once you’ve been friends with someone for so long and they’ve seen you ugly cry, lock your keys in your trunk for the third time and milk come out of your nose, it turns into something more than just friendship. You start to actually…

  • Have you checked your “Other” Facebook messages?

    I feel like Facebook is turning into that awkward cousin that never outgrew the awkward and now has more body hair, so it isn’t even cute awkward anymore. That being said, I haven’t jumped on the “I’m too cool for Facebook” bandwagon and I don’t plan on it. But some days I’m just surprised by…

  • The little things

    Everybody knows about the little things. How you’re not supposed to worry about them but how it’s also all about them. I’ve always found those references incredibly confusing and unhelpful. It’s something we really only address with someone we care about. Or when you’re being given advice about what to do in a situation with…

  • Why our newspaper asked what you think should happen to the undocumented immigrants who survived the Goliad County wreck that killed 15

    We all know those stories. The ones that call on reporters to ask the hard questions. Many have spoken out about the question of the day in which we asked “What do you think should happen to the nine survivors of the Goliad wreck?” (You can read about the story here, 15 undocumented immigrants were…

  • Stuff I tried to make from Pinterest out of floppy disks and beer bottles

    This is a graphic detailing the stages of my relationship with Pinterest. Don’t act like you’re such a good person because you don’t waste time virtually pinning stuff. Everybody has been seduced by the curiosity that oozes out of Pinterest. It’s because it’s easy and fun and quick. If we all took a few seconds…

  • What happened to the Twitter widget and what’s going to happen to your Twitter apps?

    On June 29th, Michael Sippey, the director of consumer products at Twitter posted a blog on the Twitter developer blog titled, “Delivering a consistent Twitter experience.” The first paragraph is your typical, “Yes, we’re still awesome and we know it.”  The second paragraph is vague but you should note the stress Twitter puts on developers…

  • Congressman Barney Frank marries longtime partner Jim Ready

  • A day at the beach post-college

    When you go to college in the South, a day by any large body of water is like being in your native habitat. You might as well have grown flippers. It didn’t matter how long you had to drive. You didn’t have to come to terms with sacrificing hours of your life to the confines…

  • Of mice and dog (and snakes): A tale of honor, survival and lunch

    I have snakes. My mother thinks I’m a freak. But snakes can be really cool pets. I am kind of a freak though and I like to feed them live mice. I know a lot of snake owners disagree about this because of the risk of the snakes getting hurt by the mice. I know…
