Play Starcraft II, For Your Degree

I’ve talked about the game a little bit before on here, in reference to video game addiction clinics in South Korea, because South Korea loves Starcraft, enough to have television shows devoted to it. In the USA however, that feeling has been somewhat watered down. It’s still loved, but we don’t treat the score leaders like national heroes. We do now, however, offer an honors degree in playing the game.

Small Solutions To A Big Problem

When I saw this picture of a “protest” against Yellow Pages it really struck a chord with me. I seriously can’t remember the last time I ever opened one! I may have used one to prop a door open or squish a bug. But seriously, who uses them anymore?

Early Puberty Linked To Meat Heavy Diets

Maybe this freaks me out because I was such a late bloomer—but girls getting boobs at 9 just worries me. I know there was always that one girl in the class who seemed to “blossom” earlier than everyone else and it either made her the butt of jokes or super popular (mainly with the boys), but I’m talking about the alarming rise of early onset puberty.
