  • Simplicity Sells

    There is a series of discussions that occurs every year where a 1,000 people are invited to discuss ideas in Technology, Entertainment, and Design or TED. The people who are invited to this roundhouse of discussions are simply some of the most intelligent, outspoken, maverick and iconic people that exist. To be invited to even […]

  • Woman for UN – Secretary-General

    Okay, so this week I have been really bad at posting, thus far I have missed 2 out of the 3 days. Unfortunately I couldn’t do much of anything about the project or being sick. Speaking of which I’m feeling slightly better, today I can actually think straight, so here goes another crazy venture into […]

  • Stereotypes: Will they ever go away?

    An idea that has been discussed on and off again in my history class (History of Women in America) is what would happen if some how every living person on the face of the earth did not have any stereotypes about any other person. No racial, no religious, no gender and sexual, no stereotypes of […]

  • Responsibility Within Relationship

    Tonight I attended a lecture by Stephen Darwall, a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan. He gave a lecture this evening covering responsibility within relationships, specifically as to how we interact and respond to each other and what our moral basis for our actions toward the other person are inside of this relationship. […]

  • Technology: Wasn’t it supposed to make our lives easier?

    Anybody remember the time when technology was supposed to make our lives easier and stress free. Washing machines, dishwashers, RSS feeds, podcasts, and so many other technologies were added to make our lives easier, to simplify and aggregate information so we could quickly absorb it. We would have more free time, more time to relax […]

Based on […]

  • Freedom isn’t Free but Fear is

    Okay, so I am a temperamental mood tonight, so you get a post that is going to be a rant tonight, so be warned. Why is Freedom not free, but instead I say that fear is very free. Freedom is a hard idea to hold onto, it can be taken away very easily, many things […]

  • Firefox Code Base Analysis

    Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, that has gathered just over 11% of the internet browser market, an impressive movement for a browser that has to be physically downloaded onto a person’s computer and is not known outside of tech/geek circles. Few people install it themselves outside of these circles unless they know someone […]

  • Facebook Re-Design – Good or Bad?

    Okay today the blogosphere is buzzing with incriminations against the new Facebook design. Just in case anybody out there doesn’t use Facebook, Facebook is one of several social-networking sites. However it has one key feature that I was hoping to discuss at some point in greater and detail and hopefully still will, that you have […]

  • Yes!!!!!! – Enemy Combants Now POW’s

    Quick post, for something really good that happened today. President Bush today sent those people who had been held in previously classified undisclosed locations operated by the CIA into the military’s hands and will receive the full protection of the Geneva Convention. This is wonderful news as the CIA has not been required to meet […]
