Most Fashionable Sports

By February 11, 2012 at 12:01 am

Sports are diagnosed, analyzed and picked apart for every statistic imaginable. Every number is considered and memorized and too often recited by their fans.  Since sports are considered at every angle on the field, why not judge it for how they look while playing?  From polos to speedos, sports are played in enough outfits to [...]

Character Growth and Games

By February 11, 2012 at 12:01 am

Back when the gaming industry was in its infancy, only sprites and pixels made up the games’ characters and they were nothing more than a gun or moving object on a 2-D plane of existence. It was up to the player to give the avatar a set of personality traits and goals. The avatar’s true [...]

The Versatility of Chalkboard Paint

By February 10, 2012 at 12:44 am

In the past year or so, chalkboard paint has been appearing everywhere.  First, it seemed like it only appeared in the home, perhaps painted on a wall to post the daily menu or messages, or on a table for drawings and lists.  But more and more often I have been seeing chalkboard paint in a [...]

By February 10, 2012 at 12:01 am

The “giant” task at hand wasn’t much of a load to carry at all. The women’s lacrosse team, carefree at this point, put on their aviators, socialized and debriefed with homemade cookies; the aura on Feb. 5 came in more than a “super” fashion.

“Evil Google” Isn’t Being Evil

By February 8, 2012 at 12:34 am

Google has an unofficial motto – “Don’t be evil” — that has come into question the past few weeks. By making that their motto they’ve opened themselves up to even more criticism. The moment they make a mistake that users don’t like, it’s automatically evil. I think this is ridiculous. I should point out that [...]

Jazz and the Heart of the Matter: “The Divas Ride Again”

By February 8, 2012 at 12:15 am

On Sunday, I wrote about ASU professor Andrew Barnes and his lecture on West Coast Jazz. As much as I enjoyed Professor Barnes’s lecture, something about it did strike me as off — namely, its failure to mention any female jazz musicians or singers.
