Is There Room for Sarcasm Online?
As a Bostonian, I have an ingrained sarcastic style. Nearly all Bostonians, and especially the ones born and raised here, and certainly all the ones who remember a time when Boston sports were full of sham (no wow), have a similar sarcasm built into their DNA. It developed as a defense mechanism to protect us […]
Family Guy + The Shawshank Redemption = WIN
Last night, Boston sports was in full swing with the Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox all playing at the same time. It was worth it, as all three teams won, completing a Mother’s Day Sweep. This concurrence of Boston sports made me miss Family Guy, and it turns out it was a great episode. But, […]
Last Call on the MBTA
Earlier this week, the Boston Globe published an article calling out Mayor Tom Menino to be more vocal about the MBTA and urging his to use some of his political power to push the MBTA to make changes. The mayor has little direct control over the situation, but few political leaders in the state have […]
My First Newspaper Article
As mentioned in a post last week, I’ve been very busy lately writing articles for a variety of publications. One of the articles was published last week and is the first newspaper article I’ve ever written. It’s a profile piece for the Dorchester Reporter about Dr. William Henderson, the principal at the full inclusion Patrick […]
Everyday by Carly Comando
Check out this music video by Carly Comando for the song Everyday. Many of you NBA fans probably know the song from all those The NBA: Where Amazing Happens commercials. It’s very chilling and powerful. Wicked epic song. Makes sense the NBA would use it because it makes me want to walk around doing epic […]
Beautiful Global Collaborative Covers by Street Musicians
Be prepared for it to get real dusty wherever you are. I logged into my facebook account earlier and saw a shared video link from Mona. Since she usually shares awesome links I clicked through and was blown away. The link was to a Gizmodo post titled Best Video I’ve Seen Today Will Make You […]
He Stole Home! He Stole Home!
It was a very action packed Boston sports weekend, combined with the very warm weather some might say it was a near perfect Boston weekend. We had the Celtics play the Bulls into double overtime, the Patriots draft day, and the biggest rivalry in all of professional sports in town at Fenway Park. Unfortunately, (or […]
How to Really Save The Boston Globe
Lately every Boston blogger except yours truly has thrown around ideas on how to save the Boston Globe. I won’t discuss whether it deserves to be saved, for the purpose of this article we’ll assume it is a valuable part of the community (both in terms of jobs and journalism) and assume it needs to […]
Wine Riot! Get Your Drink On
Since it seems my readers love when I write about alcohol, let me tell you about a great event I’m attending this Friday called Wine Riot! The event is hosted by The Second Glass and Dig magazines. It is basically a two day wine festival with all you can drink wine from distributors from around […]
Blogging Through History
To all the bloggers amongst my readers, the video below is a must watch. It’s a short video from CBS by Josh Landis and Mitch Butler which shows the concept of blogging is not really as new as we think. It’s a fascinating video and it’s less than 3 minutes long. In fact, I’ll say […]
