Super Link to Jen’s Page

Every once and awhile I will come across a really old web page, that somehow…still exists. I thought I would share my latest finding: one of my American Studies class page that I helped my professor create: Taste, Style, and Class in American Culture. It is a shame that the “Super Link to Jen’s Page” […]

House

House home. House music. My parents or anyone that knew me prior to 1996 can tell you…I like my music and I like my music loud. (1996? yeah…that is when I was forced to keep my music volume lower because of neighbor complaints). Finally…almost 10 years later I am able to crank the volume up […]

“Automated” Systems

My random rant or the the day…I am all for automating processes, making information easily available, etc…but what is the deal with companies that request you put in your account # or phone # while you wait to “better direct your call” only to have to enter it again later in the menu, and then […]

Getting the Word Out: Greyhound Adoption

Well, I thought I would do my part, hope my site gets indexed…perhaps leading a few more people to this post so they can then perhaps read about the 1,000 gryhounds that are going need homes. Greyhounds Only is trying to place as many dogs as possible in loving homes. If you live near Chicago […]

A Real Class Act and Win #350

Joe Paterno has once again shown the world that there is more to winning and losing…there is sportsmanship. On Saturday October 22nd, 2005 during the PSU v Illinois game, Joe Paterno reached another coaching milestone…win #350. After the first few minutes of this game, it was clear it was going to be a blow out. […]

Depeche Mode: Playing the Angel

There are a handful of bands/singers that I absolutely love (U2, Madonna, NIN, Paul Oakenfold, and of course Depeche Mode) and buying their albums right away is a must. Depeche Mode will always be one of my favorite bands of all times. So many of my memories growing up can easily be recounted depending on […]

109,839

109,839 fans filled the stands at Beaver Stadium on a cold and rainy evening to watch the PSU v. Ohio game. 109,839 people in attendance, millions of home viewers, and my grandmother in her hospital bed, staying up until almost midnight…watched an awesome and well balanced game with Penn State leaving on top. We are […]

Amy and Alissa’s Journeys

If you have not checked out my friend Amy’s blog, and you are interested in traveling around the world, are bored, or need a good laugh..check it out. Her stories are great and educational. I cannot wait to talk to her in person.

Way to Go Joe!

Last year at this time, it was really hard to watch a PSU game…not becuase they would most likely lose, but because the sports announcers would spend a good chunk of the game discussing how Joe Paterno needs to retire. I was fed up and disgusted…but can you guess what story made the front page […]

Congrats Ken!

I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate Ken for passing the Zend Certification Exam this past weekend. I am very proud of him, and hope to pass the exam myself in the next few months. Kick ass Ken! [tags]Ken, Zend Certification[/tags]
