How to stick to goals and meet deadlines
“Staying ahead of things is not hard if you know how to arrange things. Above all, it’s a matter of commitment to your cause, whether it be loosing 20 pounds in a two months or writing a stellar essay by Friday. Between the commitment and completion, however, is where often goes awry…”

Content quality, advertising, and a lesson from Dooce®
“If you’re even an inkling aware of what’s happening on the internet, you should know that making money with your website—not your company’s—is vastly becoming a huge thing. Ten years ago, pretty much nobody knew what a blog was. The same cannot be said today. Between the large availability of blogs (think blogger, livejournal, myspace blogs, etc.) and the rising spotlight on them (think celebrity bloggers, Fortune 500 companies, etc.), it seems that these days everyone and their cat has one.”

A look at faux pas: The personal website scene, Part I
“I have seen a lot of websites that are hideous, both in the markup and in their aesthetic outward appearance. Much like people who can’t properly dress themselves, or like those who leave their house looking like they crawled out of a garbage can, I must ask the question everyone wonders on some level: Can they not see how ugly it looks?”

A question of social chemistry
“In the physical world, “chemistry” explains how elements combine, behave, and relate to one another. In the social world, “chemistry” explains how individuals combine, behave, and relate to one another. With that technical definition of social chemistry, it brings up another question: What creates chemistry?”

UGG boots
“Even though they allegedly keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer, they are WINTER BOOTS. Just like normal people don’t wear flip flops when on a snowy day, likewise, the majority of the normal population does not wear sheepskin winter boots to the beach on a 100 degree summer day. It just shouldn’t happen. Ever.”

Where I stand: Abortion
“I see abortion much like going back in time and erasing the possible presence of a human being. Forget the debate of whether or not the fetus is alive; by aborting, you are essentially altering the timeline of what could be (the effects of a human’s presence on earth), and that which has started (the growth of a new life).”

Where I stand: Capital Punishment
“It is not our life to take. We do not live under the “an eye for an eye” law anymore. Capital punishment is not only wrong because it places the executioner in a morally wrong position of murderer, but also because it takes a life that was not ours to take. Just because someone terminates a life does not make terminating another right. Two wrongs do not make a right.”
