I generally don’t get political here, but I ran a cross a great story about a program at the University of Washington’s medical school. A friend works there and passed the link on to me. In short, students have the opportunity to intern for a month in a rural or underserved area between their first […]
I love when two of my favorite things come together – peanut butter and jelly, chicken wings and beer, television and the Internet. That last one has brought good and bad things lately. The good part involves my discovery of Hulu. For the uninitiated, Hulu is a website where you can find full episodes of […]
The discussion of the changes at Facebook have pretty much run their course, in my opinion. Yeah, the new look has problems. Yeah, they should just leave a good thing alone. All that rings true, but those things aren’t the real problem with Facebook. The New York Times did a nice story on the site […]
I have written about Delaware’s gambling proposal a few times. As you can probably tell, the prospect of sports wagering just a few hours from my house sounds like a great idea to me. The NCAA does not agree. They have threatened to forbid the University of Delaware from holding any NCAA playoff games on […]
Today is an embarrassment of riches for sports fans. It really is such a wonderful day to be alive. Of course, March Madness starts today. I am in four pools this year. I picked my teams kind of randomly so it’s not like I need one or two things to happen in order to come […]
I know this might not sound too popular these days what with people trying to save money and find different ways to protect the environment, but I realized something last week. I love to drive. This is not really a new revelation. Because I commute down to Baltimore for work, I have understood my appreciation […]
My daughter told me something last night that i simply could not believe. Daylight Savings Time starts on Sunday. Yep. The new law from last year or whenever pushed the date to the second Sunday in march. I hadn’t realized that was the date and totally didn’t notice that the second Sunday was so early. […]
I try to be a good citizen. I believe in helping the people of my state every way I can, especially if it affects the ability of people to attend college. That’s why I wholeheartedly support Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell’s solution to the rising cost of higher education. Bars and private clubs might get to […]
As the new year approaches, people should have many reasons to get exicted. A new president will take office. The Baltimore Orioles will find new and interesting ways to ruin baseball. And Delaware might give you one more reason (making the list three items long) to visit. The First State has beaches and tax-free shopping, […]
A terrible, terrible thing happened on television last night. I didn’t see this tragedy when I wrote this, but I know it did not turn out well. One of the cable networks presented a show called “A Miser Brothers’ Christmas” or something like that. They dedicated 60 minutes to this brand-new program which never should […]
