My brother Mugs just received his first job offer today!
The crazy guy just graduated with a BA in English from Longwood University and after months of applications and interviews, has received a formal offer for an IT position!
I’m totally proud of him, and whether he takes this job or a different one, I’m glad he [...]
Here are some movies that are out or releasing this year that I’m planning to see, in no particular order:
Hot Fuzz (I loved Shaun of the Dead)
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (Yes, really…I never saw the first one, but the Silver Surfer looks incredible)
Ocean’s 13
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Ratatouille (Read Jason [...]

Apple is finishing up an upgrade to version 3.0, and decided to add a Windows version. Several people have expressed different [...]
Sufjan Stevens has the honor of opening up a tribute album to Joni Mitchell with her song “Free Man in Paris.” I purchased this song on iTunes because it not only pays suitable homage to the original, but captures both the best of Sufjan’s past musical efforts and a taste of what his future [...]
