I’ll come right out and say it; I don’t like Kanye West. I couldn’t stand Gold Digger. I thought the whole “George Bush hates black people” stunt was ridiculous. And while I’m not religious, I found the comparison between himself and Jesus Christ to be more than a little arrogant. Nevertheless, I do like Stronger. [...]
We’ve been in hiring mode at work, lately, looking for CSS developers, content managers, and so forth. Interestingly enough, the same problem keeps cropping up with almost every resume, one that makes the difference between the call list and the circular filing bin next to my desk.

Considering the importance of posting frequency, however, good bloggers don’t just write enough when they’re in the zone; they ride the wave. It’s not difficult to tell when you’re “on a wave.” Writing one [...]
I was fortunate/wise enough to take some nutrition- and fitness-related classes while I was in college. Much of what I learned really opened my eyes to the realities of health.
