D.C. (Alexandria) is hands down the most humid part of the U.S. I’ve ever had the pleasure of living/working in. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to that 15 minute walk from the Metro station, but as i’ve been told more than once, it’s just June…the heat and humidity will only get worse. […]

A Layperson’s Lesson Three: How to be BOTH the editor and audience
I’ve been watching BET’s Lift Every Voice Episodes for the past few weeks while I am cutting down the shows for the dot com website.

A Good Excuse to be a Computer Potato?!
