You’re gonna love this. Especially if you’re a shopping-loving, Mac-loving junkie like yours truly. I was messing around with my Safari Extensions this evening. Extensions are little things you can add to the browser, for free, that give it extra functionally. I run many, and hardly ever update them, but as I did, Coupons at …

Semester-ly tradition.
Before I head out tonight, I wanted to share with you all a little tradition that I’ve had for the past few years. At the beginning of each semester, I have a tradition to spend a night before classes begins just…getting ready. Pretty normal, I’d say. You know, sit down and print out syllabi, tidy …
My other, other day job.
Easily, one of the questions I get asked the most when I am not at school is, “what do you do at your job?” In my spare time, I work for the Department of Homeland Security. I began this job in June of 2007 as a summer internship in between my junior and senior years …

It was the funniest situation. I was strolling around with Kristin one night, it was a lazy …
I mean, I’m guilty of it too.
Last night, a friend forwarded me this column from the Washington Post. I definitely encourage you to read it on your own. The man who forwarded to me, I only know him as “VT Dad,” which is how he he signed off his e-mail, appended a note to his link to the article. Justin – …
