Once I received my Bachelors of Science degree in Professional Writing, I headed straight for the door of the Memorial Auditorium in Burlington, VT, down the stairs, into my car, and up to Montreal at a 120 mph. My roommate Taylor had been circling the auditorium as I watched the time carefully. According to MapQuest, [...] Continue Reading

What you are about to read is the final product of research that was compiled through observation, first-hand interviews and experiences, random conversations, and secondary resources.  The subject of this research was the tiny city of Winooski, Vermont.

Sometimes photos or videos are the only way to gain perspective while living in a virtually connected but physically disconnected world. For all the people, who weren’t in New Orleans during Katrina and aren’t in Haiti now, the internet and television are their only means of witnessing the devastation, and at that distance it’s easy [...] Continue Reading

Nasr Al Niyadi and Omar Al Hegelan, have broken the record for the world’s highest base jump from the top of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest structure at 2,717 ft. Continue Reading

Since everyone is overly optimistic about 2010, I’m going to be the Joe Biden to everyone’s Obama. After all, the year just started and I think it’s a little premature to say things like “Happy New Year!” We did the same thing at the beginning of 2009 and look how that worked out.  So, in [...] Continue Reading

Delivering Chinese food on Tuesdays was a fun gig while it lasted. Now, in this new year my jacket will not reek of eggrolls and lo mein. And while that was bad, it was another memory of being a delivery driver that was far worse than a smelly jacket or a non-tipper. It was the [...] Continue Reading

2009 was like a bad acid trip. Obama and the wide-eyed folks who voted for him got a serious reality check. Most people just shrugged it off and found something to distract themselves with. Now we know that miracles—like making D.C. a noble, righteous, and efficient place—are best left to the 3 a.m. infomercial preachers [...] Continue Reading

When most Americans are subject to an average of 3000 brushes with advertising per day it’s no wonder companies are trying alternative and ethically questionable marketing strategies.  In what is one ballsy and sneaky move, Captain Morgan attempted to launch a guerrilla marketing campaign in football stadiums across the country.  As seen to the left, [...] Continue Reading

Animated story of Dock Ellis Jr. explaining how he pitched a no-hitter on LSD. It sounds impossible but after hearing his explanation, it’s totally believable. Bonus: Continue Reading

Seventh-grader, BridgeAnne d’Avignon, and her 80 year-old grandpa have apparently traced Obama’s genealogy back to nearly every president (the exception being Martin Van Buren) and a king of England, John Plantagenet.  The discovery proves one of two things: our government is in the control of some shadow family or humans are a more incestuous species [...] Continue Reading

Talk about getting it done with style. Continue Reading

With all the news coming out about Bernie Madoff now that he’s in a prison in North Carolina, a Ponzi scheme looks like the petty tax evasion that sent Capone to prison to rot away from syphilis.  Not only did Madoff (allegedly) get into a prison fight after an argument with a fellow inmate that [...] Continue Reading

Both our Managing Editor, Joe, and RoneBreak’s Video Producer, Pete, have jetted across the U.S. to cover NORML’s Yes We Cannabis convention. While they compile video and text to provide you with comprehensive and fresh content on the progress of the marijuana movement and the legal hurdles that it still needs to clear, we will be posting assorted photos from their time in San Francisco. Enjoy. Continue Reading

I feel bad for what happened to the store, but lets be honest, Mac has more coming then just this. People constantly buy Macs and don’t even realize that they can get more for the money. Yeah yeah, we heard all that crap about how Macs get less viruses and all but the only reason [...] Continue Reading
