Thriller

I guess this is how they do prison reform in the Phillippines.

The dance moves even won a top spot in the Washington Post Peep Show II competition.

My favorite time of year

Yes, it’s that time of year again. The weather is getting warmer, the grass is turning green, the sun shines longer, and my heart gets a thrill! Yes, folks, it’s baseball season. From April until October, I’m preoccupied with stats, scores and standings.
And that being said, I’m going to come out and [...]

Free Burma!

The recent protests in Tibet have reminded me of similar protests last year in Burma, a country near and dear to my heart.
I visited Burma (or Myanamar as the ruling military junta now calls the country) last May on a mission trip with my church. The sights, sounds and smells I experienced will stay [...]

If you want to play in the water, you have to get wet

I’ve been mulling over all that we’ve covered so far this semester, which seems a little daunting. How do I as a marketer/communicator use the different aspects and components of social media to promote my cause?
We recently added a list of social bookmarks to our site so our readers can share the articles we [...]

My new guilty pleasure

My small group knows this well about me; I have never been one to watch much television. The one show that I can’t live without is The Colbert Report. However, after watching the Sound of Music last night on (and I can’t believe I’m admitting to watching this channel) ABC Family, I discovered [...]

My secret blog

I’ve been pretty active in getting the word out to my friends and family about this blog, and it’s been good to get responses from them. But I have another blog that I haven’t really put out there. I’ve mentioned it in passing to others, and I even snuck it into my blogroll [...]

Wal-Mart’s WikiScan

For this week’s assignment, we were to do some analysis of what we find on the Wiki Scanner site. I didn’t really know where to start at first, so I started with the USDA. That was just depressing, since most of the changes made from USDA servers were not even job related, unless [...]

My little baby sister

Well, she’s not so little anymore.
In talking with my mom last week, I learned that my sister is now apparently old enough to go to middle school dances. WHAT?? To me, she’s still the sweet little girl who would wear her Disney princess Halloween costume everyday for an entire year, the girl who [...]

Livin’ Large in Second Life

Tonight I decided to skip out on a friend’s St. Patrick’s Day party to stay home and work on some homework. However, when my homework turned to experiencing Second Life, I decided to go to a “virtual” St. Patrick’s Day party.
At first I was really skeptical about Second Life – as BeckBlogic said, “I [...]

Hello, this is the federal government speaking

It’s always been an office joke that my office phone number is somehow floating all over the country as THE number for the federal government. I get calls about all sorts of things ranging from farmers wanting money to buy a cow, people just asking for other people’s phone numbers, FOX News wanting to [...]
