Heard Any Good Music Lately?

There's groups for movies, books, and plays, but not music! So here's one. Feel free to write anything about music on here; new bands/artists you like, your favorite bands/artists, concerts you've gone to, or song recommendations! =]

Chatroulette= creeper central?

In our society with the advanced technology that we have, most people have heard the buzz about chatroulette.com. Chat Roulette is an online video chat service that allows you to meet random people from all over on camera. You never know who you might meet; when you click play you may see someone from another country, or you may even see someone from the same school! This has the potential to be an awesome cultural experience, except for the fact that just anyone can be out… Continue

True or False? : America is filled with slobs

"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject.  That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
