what is high school like these days? my high school years were occurring just as web 2.0 was emerging and nihilism was still cool current high school kids: what's it like now? social climate, academics (especially if you are attending public school in the United States), issues that are important to U
Thoughts on the Star Wars Vii teaser? I don't know if that's *supposed* to be Revan from the Old Republic mythology, but I'm really glad they aped his design for the film -- he had a very cool look. Cross-guard on the lightsaber looks dumb but kudos for trying something new/different.
Why do high school kids use Facebook? Don't you see most of your social network every weekday? I've always been kinda curious about this because it didn't really blow up into an all-ages thing until after I left. Or do people mostly use it as a hub to link all of their other social media activity?

Why you should be cold-brewing coffee this summer For those of us living at higher latitudes, the warm weather is back again. So are our favorite seasonal treats that help us tolerate the heat: lemonade, popsicles, sno cones, etc. But what to do about your caffeine fix? Drinking hot coffee kinda sucks when it's 90 F outside, and making an iced coffee sounds like more trouble than it's worth (and it is). Cold-brewed coffee, however, is an easy kitchen experiment you can try. What is cold-brewed coffee? Well, it's not iced coffee. Most coffee purveyors make iced coffee by first brewing up a batch of hot coffee the usual way, and then chilling it before they mix it in with ice, syrup, and whatever else the customer wants. The "problem&quo
Dang this picture is mind blowing Gavrilo Princip being arrested shortly after assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. Think of the implications of this single event: it was the catalyst which sparked World War I, which ended with the Treaty of Versailles, and caused the fall of the Romanov dynasty in Russia. The conditions of the Treaty of Versailles inevitably led to World War II, and its conclusion led to the creation of the modern political boundaries in the middle east, which is still causing strife today. On top of that, Vietnam was still under French control at the war's conclusion, and the Marxist-Leninist Viet Minh emerged to fight the French/loyalists. Vietnam was divided at the 17th parallel, and the Vietnam war began

Why?
Anti-beer ad in Pennsylvania ;bckey=AQ~~,AAAAQBxUw0E~,DELAM66vw4z-hl01IhycwsWq-6Y4XfEN If you're not aware of how insane their sales laws are regarding alcohol: - Wine and liquor only available in wineries or state-owned stores - Beer larger than a six-pack can only be sold by the case or keg (no half racks allowed) - No alcohol sales in grocery stores or gas stations unless they have a restaurant area - They tried allowing wine sales in kiosks at grocery stores but that was revoked

Discontinued sodas Bringing back any memories? I remember buying Coke Blak... that has to be the most vile-tasting beverage I've ever consumed. I couldn't bring myself to finish a whole bottle. </3
Twitter livid w/ Stephen Colbert; cant comprehend satire summary: people outraged by [url=http://i.imgur.com/o3rDEWV.png]this[/url] tweet (alluding to [url=http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/b6cwb3/sport-report---professional-soccer-toddler--golf-innovations---washington-redskins-charm-offensive]this[/url] segment), which makes fun of Dan Snyder's half-assed charity foundation for Native Americans. Social justice warriors go into overdrive and apparently have no idea what means to satirize something.
Do you listen to radio? Any kind of radio. AM/FM, satellite, internet... If so, what do you listen to? The only good stations we get around here are the NPR affiliate and a member-supported station with a bunch of music shows. I also like SomaFM for internet radio.
Great look at how the action in The Dark Knight is shot/cut tl;dw: making movies is hard
What goes in your omelet? I'm trying to think of what else I can put in mine. Right now I use potatoes, green peppers, sweet onions, swiss cheese, and sriracha. P-:
