Oh! They’re back! I used to write this Links of the Week blog every week, but found myself running out of time in the week to scour and pillage the internet for the best links that are safe enough to run on ValpoLife.com and Portagelife.com. For...

For a Moment the Egg Stood Still
I was grabbing some stuff off the table and almost bumped it, which normally wouldn’t be any big deal. I glanced across the table and saw the Egg; now the egg as been standing there for how many hours ever since Trevor stood it up there to test it...
If I Were The Leader…The People We Like and Why They Lead
Many people often think inside their head, talk about, or wonder how great it would be to be the leader, “If I were the leader, I would…”, “If I were in her shoes or his position, I would tell this group to do this or that, I would get along...
It’s Monday. Time To Work. And That’s A Good Thing
We all dread Monday's sometimes. Back to work for many, school for lots of people, and a general mood of Monday's are a day to get going because you need to, versus eagerly anticipating waking up and having an awesome day doing something fun. Due to...

It's amazing how fast time flies by. It just seemed like yesterday was the Popcorn Festival. I can't believe it's November! (As I write this, it's actually snowing outside as well.) I'll actually be 25 years old here in a month. How crazy is that!? I...

Links of the Week: NFL Thoughts, Brett Favre, and Behind the Scenes of a Tweet
Of all my bad habits, of which there are many, I would have to say finishing 70% of something and then starting something else while never finishing that original project would have to rank among my worst. Take my weekly Bears article. You may ask,...
Links of the Week: Kitchen Utensils, Greg Giraldo, and Does the Social Media Revolution Really Exist?
I love this time of year- for TV fans, its a buffet that keeps on giving. As many of you who routinely read my blog will know, I've become a bit of a TV-junkie. I've admittedly always spent way too much of my time in front of the tube. Luckily since...
Links of the Week: Super Mario, Derek Jeter, and the Last Blog of My Bachelordom
Well, I'm finally tying the knot this weekend. It's been a long, interesting six months or so since our engagement. Between moving the wedding up a year, helping coordinate all the major details, and testing how many I don't really care's I can get...
