First Donation!
On the first full day of my fundraising efforts, I received a donation from a family friend! Thank you very much! I’m anxious to see how this campaign pans out. I am trying to go to Ghana in June, so I could have less than two months to meet my fundraising goals. It’s a lot [...]
Quick Facts About Ghana
With my upcoming trip to Ghana with Worldreader, it’s best to do some research about the country, region, and people to familiarize myself with their culture, and history. I’ve found in past experiences that when traveling somewhere (domestic or internationally), doing your homework first can really pay its dividends to reduce culture shock and to [...]
Ghana and Worldreader
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In my case, a journey of 5,000 miles begins with a single dollar! As many of you may know by now, I entered a contest with Worldreader to go to Ghana for a week to work with them. I didn’t win 1st place, but [...]

Top Moments in Recent Hokie Football

Leno and O’Brien are both fuming mad at NBC over the scheduling shakeup, but they’re taking their spotlight out on NBC on their respective shows and O’Brien is even selling his spot on Craigslist for a best offer or Cold Play tickets.
Review of Thunderbird 3.0
Wow, what an upgrade from 2.0! I have been a Mozilla fan boy for six good years now and this is one update I have been very excited for. Off the bat I am thrilled with Thunderbird 3.0 so far; it has finally caught up to Firefox in basic functionality. Below I’ve outlined the good [...]
What We Learned From CES 2010
CES 2010 in Las Vegas is all but over now and the convention center floor is being prepped for its next event. There was a lot of buzz at CES this year and toys on display at CES were more exciting this year than last, mainly as an effect of the economy. What was the [...]
Why I Won’t Buy A Mac
Let me preface by saying that I am an Apple fan boy. I love what they do and their ingenuity is amazing. I write this article in hopes to bring about some change to Apple products. The first computer I ever owned was an Apple II GS and I credit that computer with sparking my [...]
