Well, i think that tagging is insane and time consuming, when I Google something, i usually look for a reputable blog, like TechCrunch, or a Wikipedia page. It is unlikely that i'm going to click on a link to some random blog for information i wanted.

Jesus, Your school makes you buy textbooks? My school provides them, and they get new ones every year, too!

Is it a private school thing?

I like the new set! I think it is great how it seems as all the images are sucked between the two iMacs.

I watch PBS, sometimes, but mostly, i am a MSNBC fan. I think that, although sometimes bias, MSNBC is a respectable news organization that brings fact in line with comedy, placing the day's news in an easy way to understand and comprehend. I understand completely what you say about ratings and the ways everything is motivated by profit. I believe, if you get your news from different sources, there is alot less of a possibility of YOU believing t skewing by corporate media. If there is something factually incorrect, because of rating motivation, some blog or another network is BOUND to correct them, not only does it prove superiority, but it discredits the other network's credibility, which is a good thing for ratings.

I understand what you mean about profit motivation, but please excuse me if i continue to have my eyes glued to Keith Olberman, and Anderson Cooper.

For me, it's not as much eating less as it is eating healthier. There is a huge difference between eating a pre-packaged bag or Flamin' Hot Cheetos (which have been proven to put young children into a drug-like daze), and eating some carrots or a tomato. There are plenty of alternatives to junk food, and eating healthier is alot more beneficial than simply eating less.

As for exercise, I think that it is important, but "More" doesn't really cover it. There are some people who don't exercise at all, and more of not exercising is not a good thing. I personally am alot more motivated when i have a reward at the end of things. For Example, there is a Starbucks 2 miles from my house, if I jog there, i get the reward of coffee, and then I jog back. It is just a good way to stay motivated. In my opinion, lack or motivation is the main reason people break from exercise routines.

I happen to agree with you on this one. My teachers really dislike being called by their first names. I think the reason teachers are called Mr./Ms./Mrs. is because they need some respect from the students. They need some way of showing students that they have a higher ranking authority than the child. It helps the teachers ego. I think that students should not have to call their teacher by their last name, but I also think there should be SOME way of constantly demonstrating to an adolescent the seniority that the teacher possesses. At my school, we found the middle ground of dropping the Ms/Mr/Mrs and going with the last name, for example, Jane Doe would go from being Mrs. Doe to plain Doe. I personally think it is a good middle ground.

Wonderful Idea! Wonderfully Played Out. I think that this is simply pushing the online home-brew media market even farther. You should totally get a copyright on the idea and name BlogCast, i bet it will be snatched up as fast as podcasts were.
