“Adults — digital natives or not — can’t imagine what a childhood mediated by mobile, social technology that didn’t exist 10 years ago is actually like.” – Senior editor The Atlantic magazine I admit. Technology has created a significant new challenge to parenting. I struggle to think of anything since the printing press that would [...]

Ok. Creating good espn television commercials is sort of an easy task in the scheme of things <in the world of creating good advertising>. It’s not like having to explain how my detergent is somehow better then another detergent <that is 25cents less and claims to do the same thing>. Anyway. As long as you [...]

I saw this comment in The Guardian: The French elections lasted for what? A month and a half, now they have a new President. Our elections begin 2 years in advance and don’t end until super tuesday which sounds like a sporting event. Our leaders cannot function because they are always fighting for their jobs [...]

Life is not as simple as it seems.  Or maybe it isn’t as complicated as it seems. Shit. Maybe its both … at exactly the same time. I cannot remember where I found all these awesome “life formulas” but I love the way they take complex life things and simplify them into basic equations (note: [...]

So. I have been thinking of writing about Linkin Park for some time.  They have a new song called Burn it Down that actually got me thinking this is the time. They are the band I should hate but I love. I should hate them because they scream a lot <instead of singing> and the [...]
