A world through Glass
“Welcome to a world through Glass.” A very sleek, white and pristine web page is displayed before me. I click to explore, my curiosity fully piqued. Images of the future appear. Your standard eyeglass frame, stripped of typical lenses, dons a lone prismatic one to rest on the brow. Glass opens a window inside of this lense making viewing possible without stopping normal activity.

Move your Arsenal
It has been five years since Arsenal Football Club won the Barclays Premier League championship, England’s most competitive soccer league, and that’s rather upsetting. Arsenal has a long history of doing a lot of winning, with such English soccer hall-of-famers like Thierry Henry, Tony Adams and Denis Bergkamp.

On Feb. 24, the much-anticipated Academy Awards will select the best of the best. But for now, we’re picking the winners.

The golden interview
The state level Governor’s Honors Program interview; I’d been dreaming about it since the fall of my tenth grade year when I was nominated in Communicative Arts, but didn’t progress past the first set of interviews.
I resolve to…
At the beginning of ever year, we make resolutions for the upcoming year, most of them we will never keep. But year after year continue to make promises to ourselves that we will be better.
