While reading an article over at Mashable on Wednesday, I learned that some big changes were coming to Facebook. Sure, the changes to the News Feed were already pretty big, but the article hinted that these changes were just the beginning; something much, much bigger would be unveiled on Thursday.
Sure enough, Facebook announced something huge on Thursday: the Timeline. Read More →
When I was, oh, maybe 14 years old, I went to a movie with my family at the Carmike movie theater in Des Moines. It was the same movie theater we had always gone to, so no big deal, right? Right – except for one thing. You know that fun little intro thingy they play before the previews? Yeah, you know – that one with all the people watching movies and buying coke and popcorn and junk like that. It was always the same little video before every movie, accompanied by the same, familiar song. Read More →
Sometimes an opportunity will present itself to you, but you won’t be sure that you have the skills or know-how to do well at it. Basically, you don’t think you’re “good enough” to do it. When you feel like this, I’d encourage you to take the opportunity anyway. Opportunities like this stretch us to our limits, and it is at our limits where we grow the most. Read More →
Ok, so here’s the deal; I’m working on some high-level projects for College Info Geek that will take a long time to complete. Add to that my job as an RA, my second job at the career center, my classes, and my girlfriend who keeps on requesting this odd thing called my “undivided attention” (what’s that?) – you probably get the picture. Posting every day is a little difficult.
Fear not, however, as my less frequent posting will result in more awesomeness down the road. For now, check out this video. If you’re on the internet on a Saturday, you’re probably not doing homework anyway, so watching some dudes take out terrorists by shooting the raw power of dubstep at them isn’t going to hurt, right?

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. Since that day, we as a nation have rose to rebuild, both in a literal sense and in spirit. We’re building a new World Trade Center, we’ve taken down the man behind the attacks, and we’ve created a memorial to remember our losses. Today is a day to take a moment to remember the ones who have fallen for our freedom, and to be thankful that we have that freedom.
In honor of September 11, here are eight patriotic wallpapers that I found inspiring. Read More →
I’ll admit it; I totally love going to concerts, moshing, and coming back looking like I got the shit kicked out of me. It’s exhilarating. Due to this, I’m a really big fan of metal, hardcore, post-hardcore, and other related genres. However, I never felt that I could review albums from these genres in my Study Album of the Week series – I mean, who besides me studies to hardcore music?
