Stars without makeup


I found a gallery of photos of several glamorous stars shown with and without makeup. Some of the images are scary because the contrast between makeup vs. no makeup is HUGE.
It really makes you think about what is beauty and what is not.
After seeing these stars without makeup, I had to ask myself why [...]

The power of the Internet during this presidential campaign


…Is incredibly important.
It isn’t only the mainstream media that presidential candidates have to worry about. Youtube and blogs have thrown some new hurdles into the race.

What the heck is the Pinky Show?


I adore Pinky. He sits in my sidebar waiting to greet an inquisitive mouse. If he successfully catches the mouse he carries it carefully to his website where the mouse is let free to scurry around and explore.
The mouse is encouraged to nibble.
Below is an example of what you may find on the [...]
