Reinventing Detroit
December 28, 2008
Looking at Detroit today, it is difficult to conceptualize what it once was. From the Underground Railroad, Ford’s five dollar day, the implementation of our Interstate Highways system (and subsequent demolition Black Bottom and Paradise Valley), to the race riots, Great March to Freedom, and Motown – the history is all there but now, beyond [...]
Modern-Day Slavery
December 27, 2008

Montreal psychologists have already treated five men between the ages of 25 and 34 for what is called the Truman Show Delusion, where the afflicted [...]

The Semicolon: This year’s hottest item ;)
June 23, 2008
I’ve always said that if I ever were to get a tattoo, it would be a semicolon on the inside of my wrist. For quite some time now, as geeky as this may sound, I have had a deep fascination with the mysterious and elusive semicolon. Needless to say (but apparently I am about to [...]
