I was reading a blog post from a classmate of mine about the Congolese Conflict. You can read all about it on his blog, the post is titled Breaking the Silence from Oct 18-24. I had heard of the Rwandan conflict, but I didn’t know that the violence had spilled over into the Democratic Republic (DC) of Congo as well. Which is odd because one of my history classes focused quite a bit on

I have been looking into applying a nice Syntax Highlighter on my site for when I post code for people to read. I was glancing through my classmates blogs and noticed a nice post from Ryan Coughlin on the subject. He was going to mover over to Google's Syntax Highlighter from WP Syntax. I have always been a fan of Google and the fact that so much work and experience goes into the creation of

I was reading a posting over on the EMH Design Blog on the rise in popularity of Macs.  My current choice of computers are a laptop running Windows XP and a test PC running Windows Web Server, Windows 7, and OpenSuse Linux.   The rise in Mac users brings Apple to a 9.4% market share [1].  Which doesn't seem like a lot glancing at it, but it accounts for around 1.64

How often do you drive alone?  How much do you spend on gas per week?  I often think car pooling isn't done enough.  If you are going somewhere and have the room why not see if someone needs a ride?  This past weekend I car pooled home with my buddy.  It saved me from having to take a bus home, and him from driving alone.  So it worked out for both of us.

Where is the world’s biggest landfill located? Right smack dab in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. By now most people have heard of the Pacific Garbage Patch. Not very many people realize the size of it. In my head I pictured a floating mass of plastic about the size of Vermont. What I found out was that it is two times the size of Texas! Check out this animation on the Greenpeace web site.

Volunteering When someone tells you they are a volunteer what runs through your mind first? They are well-rounded? Perhaps depending on whom it is you may think they do it for attention? Well what if I told you it doesn’t matter? Whether a volunteer does it for the right reasons or not, in most cases, is of no concern to a non-profit. In the end they are a business just like the rest of them.
