(0) Comments | Posted May 21, 2013 | 12:02 PM

On the scale of "pop stars teens like that their parents have heard of," Ed Sheeran probably ranks somewhere in between Justin Bieber and Austin Mahone. And the 22-year-old's powerful but honey-coated voice and softhearted lyrics aren't all that dissimilar from theirs, either.

But unlike Bieber, Cody...

(243) Comments | Posted January 19, 2013 | 9:03 AM

I've finally reached my breaking point. LEAVE BRITNEY TAYLOR ALONE.

To give you some background, it seems that people are especially mad at T Swizzle this month. They are upset with her for many reasons, like ostensibly being asexual, having an out-of-control interest in...

When I was home for the holidays this week, I found this plastic sheet in my box of most cherished high school momentos. Highlights include: What to do if you get "smack-dabbed" and how to fold your Joey stand-up in half properly. The goal? To win a backstage pass that...

5 Reasons Why 3D Printers Are Pretty Cool

(0) Comments | Posted October 13, 2012 | 10:56 AM

Eventually, 3D printing could eliminate mass-market manufacturing. This is a fairly obvious statement for the "maker" community, but for those of us who are not as familiar with the technology, this is a pretty bold idea to chew on.

However, when you think about it, we already do...

I attended a panel at the Women's Forum Global Meeting this afternoon, which was meant to answer the question: "How do we deal with stereotypes of women in the media?" The conversation, however, quickly shifted its focus to a more frightening and urgent question: "Where are all the...

Apparently, 80% of Gen Y-ers across the world are dissatisfied (or only somewhat satisfied) with the current balance between public and private in the corporate world. Are you surprised?

There are dragons in "Game of Thrones."

For anyone who asks me why I think it's the best show on TV right now, that will always be my first answer. Dragons. Done. It wins.

Fantasy lovers, like me, have been waiting for mainstream networks to bestow a show...

Hollywood's Hunger Games

(85) Comments | Posted March 26, 2012 | 10:15 PM

What I wouldn't have given to have been a fly on the wall when they cast The Hunger Games. The way I'd like to picture it in my mind is Gary Ross and Suzanne Collins sitting at a table, Gary saying, "So, Jennifer Lawrence?" and Suzanne saying, "Well, duh."

Apparently,...

Jackie Emerson isn't your typical teenage fangirl. Sure, she's been obsessed with The Hunger Games since long before she had to read the book for her high school English class, and when director Gary Ross interviewed her for his proposal to direct The Hunger Games, she thought to herself, "What...

We Are The Real Bullies

This bullying really has to stop.

Before you get started on your next "It Gets Better" video, let me just add: I'm not talking about teen bullying. I'm talking about the dangerous narratives adults are writing about bullying in our schools, which are, in turn, influencing the legislation meant...

This is like that moment when someone intones, in half-seriousness, "Luke, I am your father!" and the words, "You know, Vader doesn't actually say that in The Empire Strikes Back..." fly out of my mouth, despite my very best efforts to hold them in. It's not (just) that I'm pedantic...
