What it all boils down to is people wanting to feel important. In a world where your talents are a commodity and you can’t put a finger on how to get someone to pay you for the artisinal quality of your linkspam; people rage on tumblr about receiving...

An Army of One (Video)
notaquarterback:
I’ve been thinking a bit about this topic and decided to make it the maiden voyage of the videoblogging edition of my blog. There are tons of good ideas out there, lots of brilliance happening in the higher ed space. But how much of that thought is geared towards one person or small organizations?
I think there’s a penchant to believe that everyone is hearing everything...

On the cusp of so many things that I’ve actually wanted, I look things now and realize more than ever the value of patience. For too long, I was sort of context to bide my time with whatever was around. I wanted what was there because it was better than having nothing. But the past few years have been an interesting test in not having what you want when you want it. Or getting it at all.
I...

– So rather than face a girl baseball player, due to their ‘beliefs’ this school forfeits the title game of their stupid charter school baseball association. The fact they even have a separate league is a joke to begin with, but then you have this silliness. I feel bad for the kid, I doubt it was a...

Band Baaja Baaraat (Wedding Planners) (2010)
heywatchthismovie:
For starters, this is my first Bollywood movie. I’ve wanted to watch some for a while, with the massive influx of them added to Netflix in recent years but wasn’t sure where to start. Given I spent a good part of Christmas break with the Kingdom of War epic from Thailand and of course, watching City Hunter, that K-Drama, I felt I was probably ready to head for the...

So I used Picle and made this short movie of what went down yesterday at lunch. We went to my boss’s house so she could feed the new calf they got.
