Did you ever use VHS tapes as a kid? I still remember popping one into the VCR and never ceasing to be amazed that an entire movie could be contained within a little black plastic box. They were crucial to my consumption of media — until one day they weren’t. VHS came and went, and now it just…

{Original Image} This weekly post has started to turn into the occasional bi-weekly post, but I’m sure that none of you would have noticed if I didn’t point it out. Life has been pretty busy lately (in a good way) so I haven’t been on Pinterest too much. But I digress, you came here for…

Oh glasses, we can’t live with them, and we can’t live without them. They make life go from 480p to HD in a matter of seconds. Who doesn’t like that? No one, absolutely no one, but with great advantage, there has to be some disadvantages. Here are a couple of those pesky things that come with wearing glasses.…
We all love fairy tales and their amazing happy endings, especially the Disney ones! The songs are so joyful and they don’t seem to have a care in the world. Or so we think! The endings of fairytales have been twisted by Disney, so that the movies would be a huge hit with the viewers…
{Original Image} Just as every other week, this week I present to you some amazing finds on Pinterest. The selection process is never easy, and I feel like the world’s worst children’s sports team coach when I say this, but all my Pins are “top 10” worthy in my eyes. This week, I have some really…
{Original Image} Reading is becoming more and more under appreciated as we plough full-steam ahead on our technological road, filled with video billboards and holographic traffic conductors. As television, YouTube, Netflix, and other sources of visual media, dominate our daily lives, good ol’ books have taken a backseat. Although we must not forget our stained…
