I joined Second Life tonight. I haven’t gotten a chance to install the software yet, so I haven’t played the game. What do you think of virtual networking communities and their effects on society?
Temporary Solution To My Internet Problem
For those of you who read my post How To Deal With Internet Frustration the other day, you know that I’ve had problems with my Internet going out. Well, I must take back my threats to Charter Communications. Maybe. For the last few days, my connection has went out only twice. And I think I [...]
Ultimate Blog Party!
Susan and Janice, who run 5 Minutes For Mom, are hosting the Ultimate Blog Party. You don’t have to be a mom to participate either. It should be a great way to meet new bloggers and make new friends. About me: I am a 22-year-old college student at Auburn University. I will be graduating with [...]
Thursday 13 – I Do/Don’t Like This Semester
I don’t like that I had to buy two copies of Wuthering Heights for The 19th Century British Novel. The on-campus bookstore should’ve had the correct version to start with. I do like my Bible as Literature class. There’s way too much homework, but I enjoy learning new things about the Bible. Plus, reading all [...]
Customer Service, TiVo, & New Career Idea
I just got off the phone with a guy from India who works for Amazon’s customer service department. Yes, I asked where he was from. I think it was because I’ve been reading The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman. And reading all about the outsourcing of [...]
Thursday Thirteen – Great Quotes
This week I’m picking out 13 great quotes. Honestly, there’s too many to narrow down to a list of only 13, but I’m going to present you with at least a small fraction of great words once said or written. It was actually really hard to pick these out of the many quotes I have [...]

This week I wanted to list my favorite movies. That was kind of hard considering that I watch a lot of movies. My DVD collection is quite large. So, I sat down in front of my DVD racks and started looking for the best titles. This is the list that I came up with (in [...]
Next Generation Insights
I found a video discussion panel, Next Generation Insights, in which young people (ranging from a high school sophomore to a 24-year-old) discuss their uses of technology today. It was a neat video to watch, even if it is an hour long. I recommend watching it if you want to see how people in this [...]
Thursday Thirteen – Christmas Wish List
These are all items I have on my Amazon Wish List. So, pop on over there if you want to get me something. Xbox 360 HD DVD Player I’ve wanted an HD DVD player since they first arrived in the spring. Yet, they’ve cost way too much money up until this point. I know the [...]
Facebook Elitism
There are 2,838 members of the Facebook group “Against Opening Facebook to Everyone (Official Petition to Facebook).” So far. It’s our contry’s value of elitism. I admit it. I have that feeling too. To be better than anyone else. “I’m on Facebook, and you’re stuck on MySpace.” Na-na-na-na. It’s part of human nature, to be [...]
