An Homage To Alternative Points of View: An Exercise in Objectivity
This one is for all the bloggers. I don't know why we all choose the blog as an outlet. For some people, it's a away to feel like you are being heard - if even only by your friends and family and anonymous strangers - in a world where it seems like you just can't … Continue reading An Homage To Alternative Points of View: An Exercise in Objectivity
Inglorious Blogging: Intention Versus Reality
People blog for a lot of reasons, I suppose. Some people just need free therapy - a place to dump out all the random thoughts in their head. Some people blog to hone their writing skills.

This Is My Lunch Break: The Perceived Non-Value Of Blogging
This just in: blogs do not contribute to value creation. So I've just recently heard on an otherwise very constructive conference call. Apparently - from a corporate culture perspective - by attempting to create cultural commentary on topical issues relevant to everyday humans, one essentially cheapens the value of their intellectual capital.

See Your Town From A Different Perspective: Be A Tourist
Have you ever thought that you were bored with life in your city? Or that it has lost its luster? It'd magic? It's intrigue? Perhaps with life humming along every day you forget to look around outside of your path to and from work and your usual stomping grounds.

How you know you are in a Hipster Habitat
Urban sprawl all over America has given way to urban areas that are broken down into cellular pockets of neighborhoods with varying demographics.
