Dale Mussen — Fri, 03 May 2013 10:00:50 +0000

We were talking yesterday about Facebook and its 1.1 billion accounts. It took a little over eight years to reach that level, but most of us just don’t have a concept of how big a number one billion is. And for Facebook to reach that level of users in eight years is incredible. Let’s first [...]

There's a funny thing about parents and technology. That being a majority of moms and dads are pretty tech unsavvy without the help of us internet-obsessed younger folk. And while parental struggles can be frustrating at times, their attempts to get in the techy loop are mostly just hilarious. This is particularly true with Facebook.

Rob Banks — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:20:19 +0000

Josh Moore was thrilled to be holding a gun his father gave him as a present for his upcoming 11th birthday. In this picture the gun kind of resembles a military-style assault rifle, but it is really just a .22-caliber copy. Still, it didn’t take long before the Moores got some unexpected company (and it wasn’t at [...]

10 Compliments Men Hate to Hear

Rob Banks — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 05:10:35 +0000

My girlfriend told me the other day, “That was sweet of you to help and clean, but I’ll just do it quicker.” Well, well, well. You’re welcome? I did that one my own, and next time do not even ask me to help! Every guy has a compliment — or in a lot of cases [...]

Have You Quit Facebook?

Brett Alan — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:54:57 +0000

Do you remember Myspace? It was one of the first very popular social media websites. I remember when I made the move from Myspace to facebook and never looked back. Now, it seems like that trend is about to continue. Only this time, it’s facebook that is seeing a mass exodus of users. A new [...]

Worst Feeling in the World?

Rob Banks — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:28:48 +0000

Sometimes you just have to get home. So...I had to scrounge some change and toss it in the tank haha. Running out of gas, burnt popcorn, wet socks, sending your email to the wrong person, stepping on a lego, getting your credit card bill. The list can go on and on for me, if all you want is that bowl of cereal before you leave the house and there's no milk in the fridge--biggest bummer. We asked you guys what you thought and honestly the first response takes the cake. What do you think?
