The Untouchables
You wish I were talking about the movie. But nay, my friends, nay.
I just read a blog post that my boss sent me about this brilliant billionaire who values the art of “copying”. In a business world, where copying is frowned upon - yet totally abused (ahem, microsoft), he points out that in the one field where replication is actually beneficial, everyone wants to be innovative:...

Confession.
So, this blog was originally meant to be a place for me to share my creative juices. I love writing and I love photography and this was where I was going to start sharing it …But I ended up becoming the typical blogger who just reposts things she sees from the Internet.
Confession: I’ve been a little down lately seeing as how I graduated from grad school months ago and still...

Oh, Hello Kindness
March 28, 2008
Julio Diaz has a daily routine. Every night, the 31-year-old social worker ends his hour-long subway commute to the Bronx one stop early, just so he can eat at his favorite diner.
But one night last month, as Diaz stepped off the No. 6 train and onto a nearly empty platform, his evening took an unexpected turn.
He was walking toward the stairs when a teenage boy approached and...

Book Lust
So I’m a book lover, and the best books I’ve read have been recommendations from others. So my fiance and I thought - how awesome would it be if we created an online platform for book lovers, such as ourselves, to share and browse each other’s personal recommendations. and BAM - we combined our obsession with books and social media and created a book sharing blog called Dooda!...

And another one bites the dust
Today, the Tunisians voted and Ghadafi was killed - what a day for the Arab world!
I’m not celebrating the death of a monster, but I rejoice for the freedom of a nation who was massacred by their leader.
God bless every man, woman, and child fighting for freedom and dignity.
P.S. Bashar and Saleh - get the hint, betches.

Keep it offline.
I have a problem with people that use social media to passive aggressively post statuses/tweets to a particular person.
One, it’s sad. Two, neither I nor the rest of Twitter/Facebook need to be involved. Three, grow up and face the issue.
