I love TED Talks and this one is truly Awesome ;) Check out this talk by Nail Pasricha, author of the 1000 Awesome Things blog! Best quote hands down, "You'll never be as young as you are right now!"

Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert recently held The Rally to Restore Sanity (and/ or Fear) on the Washington Mall. I love Jon Stewart so I was incredibly excited to watch the coverage! I think overall it was a success- the turn out was incredible which was heartening in a world with extremist media pundits always have some crisis or 'the world is ending' kind of story. I was a little

Vegetarian's and carnivores alike will appreciate this ad. I found it over at Screaming Me Me- funny site!CONTENT WARNING: Overt sexual imagery (it was apparently banned- but its amusing). While this ad is a bit more suggestive sexually than most, I think its interesting that it was banned when so many other ads with sexual content are not. Ads selling games, jeans, cars, lingerie, even

If the new Facebook TOS has you as irked as I am... you should check out this brilliant article by Amanda French. She compares the TOS agreements of the main large social media sites to Facebooks, including Myspace, Flikr, Youtube, Picasa, and Twitter. It is abundantly clear that Facebook has stepped over the line. The question is will enough people react? Or will people get a little

Facebook has gone beyond the brink! Long gone are the days when you had to have a .edu email address, and Facebook was just a friendly networking site for college students. Now everyone from teenyboppers to grandmas have an account on this social media giant. As the site owners realized the money making potential by opening the app development tools to the world and adding advertisements up

The phenomena of 20-somethings going through a 'quarter-life crisis' is no longer just found among a few- it has become a rite of passage into adulthood. With the multitude of career options out there and different ways one can lead her life it is easy to become overwhelmed. From choosing which college to go to, which major to pick once you get there, and finally which career path you will travel

We all like to believe we are not sheep. We like to believe we are not influenced to make purchases because ads make us want a product, we like to think we are independent thinkers and do as we believe is right and not just what others tell us to do. We like to believe that we will not jump off a bridge because our friends just did, that we will stand up for what we know is right at crucial

James Nachtwey is one of the most incredible and influential photographers of our time. Last year he won the TED prize of a wish to change the world and his goal was to use photography to bring knowledge to the world of the epidemic of Tuberculosis and particularly the new form of Extremely Drug-Resistant TB. I encourage you to watch the video of his images below- get educated, think, take

Just a few weeks before the election do you wonder where we stand? As of today, October 17th, Electoral-Vote.com reports that Obabma is ahead. They cite the following polling data: "Obama 352 McCain 171 Ties 15"... As of today, Democrats are ahead in the Presidential race, as well as taking control of more seats in the House and the Senate.

Guest Author Grant Lingel When it comes to electing a new president of the United States, one would imagine that it is the people of the country who choose the new official. Some may say that their vote really counts, but exactly how true is that belief? The Electoral College system is something most people have heard of but don’t really know that much about. To sum it up quickly in laymen’s

A rare look at the lighter side. Both candidates for the office of President, Senators Obama and McCain, took a swing at some humor this evening while attending the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner. After so much overt, attacking negativity in the campaigns its nice to see smiles and jokes (albeit with a few potshots) among the candidates.If you are amused (I sure was!) I encourage you to

While I try to stay open minded, and at least understand the argument of the other side even if I disagree with it (perhaps even more so if I strongly disagree with it), but this Sarah Palin video is quite disconcerting. Either she is serious and really does not know what the job duties of the Vice President are, in which case how can she argue she is a valid candidate if she does not know what

Fifth Grader Dalton Sherman gave an amazing speech at a back to school convocation in Dallas. Through his inspired words, this young man challenges his peers and teachers alike to believe in him, themselves, and each other. His words rang through the auditorium as he calls, "You better not give up on us. No- you better not! Because as you know, in some cases, you're all we've got!" In his

How low can we go? I say how low can we go? The Wall Street Journal reports that our 'Debt Clock' has officially run out of digits! With our new 'bailout' plan, our country has set a new record low- we crossed the $10 trillion mark of debt.When the current debt clock was first constructed, the idea of ever hitting $10 trillion seemed beyond our capability. The dollar sign was securely placed

PETA wrote a letter to Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Co. urging them to replace the cows milk in their products with human breast milk. Before you get disgusted at the thought of your beloved Phish Food being tainted with the lactations of a 17 year old kid, who got knocked up by a good for nothing who left her at the words 'missed period', who's just trying to make a dime to pay for her one-month

Most of us would swear we are not affected by advertising. But if it did not work, companies would not spend billions of dollars each year trying to get their company name and logo 'branded' into our brains and hearts. Its as simple as walking in to the drug store and being faced with a wall of toothpaste- which do you buy? The one you've always bought? The kind your mother buys? The one your

Welcome to the No Sheeping Blog! An idea long in the making, spurred on by the constant sheeping that can be seen every day in our country- en mass and small scale in ourselves.I once read an article of a sheep herder who watched helplessly from below as one of his sheep fell off a cliff. Then the sheep next to the first one followed suit, doing as sheep do, and took the plunge as well. The
