30 Years Later, What’s Different with this Generation.
From: Best Education Degrees I saw this and wondered about the differences, since I was 16 turning 17 in 1982. Where is this generation at? I think there are some pluses and minuses for where we were and where we have gone over the past 30 years.
Leaving ESPN behind…
I’ll try not and belabor the point, however, I wanted to say some things about ESPN and Penn State. I don’t disagree that Joe Paterno should have done more, he has said that himself. I think that it was time that Joe step down, and the retirement at the end of the season sufficed. However, [...]

I’m looking at using Posterous for posting things here and then sending it to all of my social media sites. I can send stuff by email and have it show up here or on any of my sites, like Ministry and Meteorology? Blog. So let’s see whay happens when I push publish.
