Dear Blackberry and RIM, For Shame
I’ve been Blackberry user for almost four years, standing by my phone steadfastly through the storms. Even that one time where my trackball popped out and ended up in 6 pieces. How something so small could have so many parts is beyond me. Then I upgraded to a Bold and …

If the Social Networks Were in High School
High school is a microcosm of the real world. Folks think when they graduate, the dynamics they had to deal with then end. WRONG! Life is high school on a larger scale. So I thought about what would happen if the social networks where we spend our eLives were high …
Whose Half Braids Are These???

TypeF and YouTube Can Lead You Astray
In the case of Tyra Banks’ Type F YouTube Channel, which is related to her TypeF website, folks are going to be led all types of wrong ways. I’m not sure if Tyra just handed over the management of that YouTube page to someone she REALLY trusts so she never checks …
