Nate and I go back many years, to our high school days. Needless to say, I'm pumped for the release of this new single - and accompanying video! Available on all of your usual platforms (iTunes, Spotify, etc.) beginning tomorrow - February 1st. Hit up NateWalkerMusic.com for more about my brother-from-another-mother and his music. Also worthy of your ears, his last single
Via DenOfGeek:The story of The Boys depicts a bleak world filled with power-imbued superheroes who have become reckless, selfish and hedonistic, leaving citizens in danger. Thus, an angry, ultra-violent Englishman named Billy Butcher puts together his own team of ex-military personnel with black ops experience to watch the proverbial watchmen, calling themselves, you guessed
Getting caught up on some of my reading and realized that I missed an interesting article at Inside Higher Education last week:Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) sued not only Harvard, but also the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The outcome of the UNC case could be as important as the one at Harvard. Critics of affirmative action hope to see the issue of college
Via /Film:Bo Peep is back and this time, she’s no delicate porcelain figure. She’s traded her hoop skirt for pantaloons and her bonnet for a cute side ribbon in our first look at the long-missing toy in the latest Toy Story 4 teaser. After being absent from Toy Story 3, Bo Peep is making her big return with a brand new look.[...]The long-lost friend (or maybe more) of Woody
This is MollyLong story short:For a couple of years my family has wanted to adopt a dog. The Wife and I had a loving chocolate lab named Bailey back in the early 2000s (prior to children). Once The Boy was born, we had to give her up to another family that had the time and energy to give her the attention that she deserved. It was hard for us, but it was the right call.The
Dear Santa, my friend Larry sent me a link to this Nerf blaster at SlickDeals:Yes please. I'll be real good this year...
Yikes:The University of South Florida at St. Petersburg admitted nearly 700 applicants in recent days, but human error is being blamed for more than 400 of those admissions offers having been sent out incorrectly. They have since been revoked.The university issued this statement: “We were dismayed to learn about the acceptance emails that were mistakenly sent Saturday due
...along with everything else around here.Wait. What just happened?
The coooooolest emote in Fornite y'all. One of the things that I really like about Fortnite is the emote. Granted they aren't all winners, but the fact that one can dance around the corpse of a fallen enemy is pretty cool.I need to learn this dance for the next wedding that I attend
An interesting take-down of online learning:The report said its review of the evidence demonstrated that:Online education is the fastest-growing segment of higher education and its growth is overrepresented in the for-profit sector;Faculty and academic leaders, employers and the general public are skeptical about the quality and value of online education, which they view as
I must have been under a rock for the past few months as I had no idea that this flick was coming out next month. I loved the first film, and am stoked for "the second part". Two glaring thoughts about the (AWESOME!) trailer:The cast is (once again) quite impressive! Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, Alison Brie, Nick Offerman (!), and Maya Rudolph, just
An interesting article at Inside Higher Ed today about state spending on higher education. Money: States spent 3.7 percent more supporting higher education in fiscal year 2018-19 than in the previous year. The small rise continued a five-year trend of upward support that this year totals about $91.5 billion. In the previous fiscal year, support for higher education grew

I missed this yesterday, but luckily the fine folks at IGN were there to record it.Very cool. Now the entire island is covered in ice and snow. Downside: you have to contend with all of the new "ice monsters" (a callback from the "cube monsters" earlier this year).
Old Main, on Penn State's University Park campusAccording to a recent article at Bloomberg, we are seeing fewer students taking advantage of higher education in the United States:New foreign student enrollment in the U.S. dropped by 6.6 percent in the 2017-18 academic year, double the previous year’s rate of decline, according to the Institute of International Education (IIE).
So gang, I think that we may have an issue with hawks nesting near the Shields Building here at University Park. You can read about our previous adventures with hawks (aka, Iowa's mascot) here. As I was walking into the office yesterday morning, I noticed a couple of students on the sidewalk gawking and taking pictures of something in the grass. Naturally, my attention was
I'm a huge fan of the John Wick movies (the first is the best - but both were excellent), and it appears that chapter 3 will not be a disappointment. From io9: After being excommunicated from the Continental for violating the High Table’s rules by killing another assassin on neutral ground, the worldwide hit has been placed on Wick (Keanu Reeves), and the professional must

#TNHTW. Love it.Recently our Executive Director shot an email out to the staff that included a link to this post at the Georgia Tech Admissions blog. Totally worth your time, especially if you’re an Admissions Dude like me. My favorite part though:Appealing an admission decision“My son is amazing! Didn’t you see his test scores? And we know someone who got in who is not as
I use Strava for measuring my cycling outdoors. Each year they crunch my data and produce a slick lil' video that shows my progress. I have to say that I'm a little disappointed with the number days that I was actually on the bike - only 74? Ugh. I'll have to remedy that this year.
