January 18, 2012 So I surf the net, it's my job to stay up on what's going on. If you haven't heard what SOPA is ... it's a fancy acronym that the government might pass that the inspiration of is to hurt internet piracy.
Here's a video that can explain what's going on better than I can hope to.
On Tuesday, we told you about some of the sites — Wikipedia, Reddit and the Cheezburger network among them — that planned to go dark today in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), anti-piracy legislation under consideration by the US Congress.

New York police removed Occupy Wall Street protesters from their Zucotti Park in an early morning raid this week, and it seems the majority of everybody else couldn’t be happier.

November 15, 2011 You know I've done some crazy stuff for radio before ... gotten INSANELY drunk on air, offered to go on a blind date with a crazy person. One thing I've never done is intentionally cause myself pain.

November 15, 2011 Only in California!!! You have to admit, this is funny... as long as it wasn't your kids class room!
November 10, 2011 Yesterday's national EAS test has sparked lots of commentary as well as jokes. Was it a success? Was it a failure? I guess it depends on if you're a glass half full or half empty kind of person.
November 8, 2011 Saw a pretty interesting story this morning about the relationship between the kind of car a man drives to the kind of woman he attracts. The results were not TOO terribly surprising to me.
