I'm extremely hesitant to donate to any organization these days. And I'm sure that others feel the same way -- but resulting from the recent cyclone that ripped through Burma (Myanmar), it seems as if help is needed.Over 100,000 people have died, and over one million -- ONE MILLION -- are homeless. This clip is put together by the International Burmese Monks Association, and calls for any

Time to change things up a bit. From a wild, hilarious occurrence at a baseball game to teaching English in Africa -- here is a brief clip about a Peace Corps volunteer and his experience in Benin. My mom won't like me carrying on with the notion that I will one day serve in the Peace Corps, but I'm not sure that she knows how to find my blog ;-)/Col

Those excellent commentators at NESN, with their investigative talents, have gotten to the bottom of this "pizza toss" issue. Again, I'm not going to say much about this video, because it speaks for itself. Don't mess with a good thing, right?

Since I've recently taught myself how to post videos on the blog, I cannot think of any better series of clips to get things started than the infamous Fenway pizza toss. Sit back, relax, and enjoy... this is a classic!

Apparently I missed the boat on this scene. The use of corn in producing ethanol (known as a form of biofuel) is not only controversial, but quite possibly unnecessary. This interview with the former CIA director answers a few questions about corn-based ethanol. Yet it also raises even more questions, namely why the U.S. government provides subsidies to American corn farmers to overproduce their

In another shocking development half way around the globe, the brilliance of Chinese innovation makes headlines throughout the world. The completion of the bridge with no name creates the most direct route between urban centres Shanghai and Ningbo. The bridge spans the Hangzhou Bay, and is a feat of technology by all accounts.That is, until the next tsunami hits...

Last night I went to see the Yankees play the Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium. This was my third game of the year, and the Yanks lost again, 6-2. On a cold night, there is nothing worse than sitting on your hands while your team produces no offense, and you have nothing to cheer about aside from the fact that the Dippin' Dots carts never have lines.Honestly, if I didn't have a season ticket

I'm not going to begin with the usual: I am born, I am raised, I am now in my currency. I'm going to begin by saying that I have absolutely nothing to say. If you're expecting greatness, then go someplace else. If you're looking for a good story, don't hold your breath. If you're not sure what you seek, then this just might be the place for you.I don't know what the point of this blog will be. It
