Have you ever had one of those weeks where things just continually got worse? I'm in the midst of one of those periods and I have to admit the sense of self-pity has shifted entirely to one of hilarity. How is it even possible for so much to go cosmically wrong in such a serialized, increasingly unfortunate spree? I'm not sure, but at this point the only option I have is laughter. Sometimes that's all you need to put things into perspective. Sure, I twisted my ankle, came down with a cold, and…

Sometimes you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. There's nothing wrong with that, we've all been there. It can be tough to pull yourself out of a downer mood. Maybe there's something getting you down, but often times you may find yourself not feeling great for no specific reason. So how do we fix that? Well, there's no easy answer to that. Your gut reaction might be to find something to brighten up your disposition just a bit. Maybe that's a certain song or some fantastic food. For me, at le…

Also, Selena Gomez wraps herself in a blanket.

So maybe you've had a long day. Maybe your day is just beginning. You could be reading this at any given point, but as of writing this introduction, we're in the middle of the week. It's that point in time when everything seems like a little bit of a slog. You could look at it from that dull and doomful perspective, but there's another option. Have you tried thinking about the brighter things in life? A beautiful sunny day, a delicious dish from your favorite food joint, a fresh bouquet of flow…

Now, I'm largely against the deification of any public figures. It's much too far a leap to idolize an individual based on their public persona. Look at Elon Musk as an example. A few years back, the internet treated him as some sort of real-life Tony Stark. An individual who was fighting for a brighter technological future for the world. But guess what? He ended up being an unhinged, cringe, attention-seeking megalomaniac. Never take famous people at face value. That being said, I'm willing to…

A real rambunctious assortment

Spotify can be a fickle beast . Back in high school, I was stuck with the free version of Spotify. Although free, it almost felt like a prison. Who amongst us wants an incredible spree of music interrupted by some of the most obnoxious and obnoxiously loud advertisements possible? Though I made the jump to the premium plan once presented with the perk-filled student plan in college, I understand the plight of anyone using the free version of Spotify. There are so many options for music streamin…

How do you feel about the hijacking of internet culture by corporate accounts? I'll admit, it was a little cute at first. Take Wendy's for example, they were one of the figureheads who popularized the trend. They appealed to their audience through Twitter memes , they joked with their followers, and they talked smack to other brands on social media. It was uncharted territory and refreshing to see. That was until every other brand adopted the model. When every brand tries to be the cool kid, no…

There are few things unanimously loved by audiences across the board as the Shrek film franchise. The first movie came out some 20 years ago, but it's aged with perfection. The jokes hold up, the characters are as charming as ever, and it's as fun as it was when I first saw it as a child. If I had to put on a movie to entertain a group comprised of a full range of generations, you know I'm choosing “Shrek 2." It's just impossible to hate the ogre and his crew. While the movies are still widely…

Happy Sunday, computer appreciators and C++ Connoisseurs! We're back, once again, this week with a batch of code-intensive internet comedy ! Like many other professions, but specifically this one, programmers have to think on the fly. It doesn't matter what the product is, issues need to be fixed near immediately. The company website isn't functioning as it should be, who else do you call other than the programmer ? They need to be alert 24/7 to fix any issue. Office hours don't apply when the…

If you're reading this, you're currently connected to the internet. Congratulations! For some of us, that can be a grandiose task. Most of us have struggled with connecting to the internet at one point or another. Sure, older individuals may struggle with internet-related issues especially, but you're lying if you've said you've never been frustrated while trying to establish a reliable Wi-Fi connection. Wi-Fi is a finicky beast. Maybe you've just moved to a new address and have desperately tri…
