Movember

I’ve got a friend who’s a giant fan of mustaches.  Why?  Because he’s a guy. He’s also a fan of being a good person (this is where the similarities between the two of us end). This year he’s joining a cause to combine these two passions.  If you’re interested in growing a mustache or trying […]

I Love to Hate Love

Let’s play a little word association, shall we? When I say the word, “Titanic”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you used the words, “Celine Dion”, “nausea”, “miserable love story”, or any combination of the aforementioned terms, or their synonyms, then you’ll probably agree with what’s going to follow.

U$A’s Future

Dear America, Is it just me, or are more and more of our top students basing their major upon making money? And when I say, “is it just me”, I mean that literally.  Even before I went to college I knew I wanted to be a business major.  Why?  Because I liked psychology. I know, […]

2016: Chicago A No-Go

A few days ago it was announced that Chicago will not be hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics. In fact, of all the cities that that made the final cut, we (I’m from 1.5 hours outside Chicago, I round up to say we) finished dead last. In other words, Chicago couldn’t even land the bronze….ouch. If […]

The Good Badger Video 2.0

Some videos are so powerful that they change your life forever. Other videos are made by me.

The Good Badger Video

There are very few unanimous facts in this world: 1) Chicago Style Pizza > NY Pizza 2) Kanye West has no conscience 3) Every good website needs its own self promoting video # 3 is the result of this post Thanks to Mike Kozar for his assistance in writing such a heavy script.

Google Wave: The Future of Communication?

On the official scale of awesome, which is internationally agreed upon to range from 1-29,277 (total points scored by Michael Jordan as a Bull), Google comes in at roughly one googol. It’s been a while since I’ve kissed some Google butt.  This post is long over due.

The Death of Wayfarer

I figured if Jay-Z had the authority to kill off autotune, then someone of my stature surely could do the same for the most over-abused trend since the Livestrong bracelet.  Judging by your superior ability to read titles, you likely already know that I’m referring to the Ray-Ban (or replicated rip-off) wayferer sunglasses.  You know […]

Wikipedia is Awesome

Wikipedia is awesome.  Arguing against this is like trying to convince someone to take a tropical vacation to Antarctica (note to future readers: this was written in 2009 when Antarctica was still somewhat frozen). Wikipedia is responsible for 13 MILLION articles.  What’s even more amazing – this is a collaborative project worked on by volunteer […]

Death Panels: The Epicenter of Misinformation

There are very few TV shows that I go out of my way to watch.  I try to stay up-to-date with current events in the news, and I of course make time for the occasional comedy (not necessarily in that order).  The Daily Show is a perfect hybrid of the two.  I’m all about multi-tasking. […]
