It’s the communication age, but outside the realms of sci-fi, we seldom stop to consider what that means. What does it mean to be a citizen of the internet? The internet has become a sort of second home for many in our society, and our world. We have identities, personalities, hobbies, and friends, but it’s [...]
Starting this New Year, perhaps the last thing we want to think about is that this is our final year to live. At risk of bringing a sad mood to this paper, the following must be included. Dec. 21nd, 2012 is to be the last day for Earth. It has been a good run; in [...]
Minneapolis Community and Technical College is nested near the heart of downtown. Minneapolis’ cool skyway system, library and a host of fine dining and entertainment venues that make downtown Minneapolis what it is today: a diverse, hip, and cool place to be. The diversity and everyday hustle and bustle of downtown Minneapolis is mirrored inside Minneapolis [...]

The day after Halloween, I went down to the local store for candy corn. It was now All Saints Day, but I still craved those sweet candy nuggets and knew I could get them on sale. Upon approaching the store, I saw no skeletons or ghouls in the window. What I saw in the sill [...]
On Oct. 10, our country celebrated its 74th nationally commemorated Columbus Day. Plenty of people have mixed feelings about the day. Some see it as an American day, because were it not for Columbus, America would not be populated by Europe, and the “White American.” In essence, our country would be a very different place. [...]
