Here's another installment of my weekly DVD picks based off the new releases this week.

The very first one of course is the amazing Paris je t'aime. I saw the film earlier this summer and thought it was so well done that it was worth recommending. It's definitely an Indie film and contains around 18 short films all combined into one. Th

Interesting article on how to keep your house cooler during those hot summer months. This wind powered roof ventilator literally sucks out all the hot air in your attic space.

For those of you who went away to college after high school - remember that first summer back in your hometown? Remember the great times you had with your old friends and how they changed, you changed and it felt like forever since you last saw them? Well, I do and that’s why American Pie 2 resonates with me.

I’ll admit that I used to follow my Technorati ranking closely, making sure that it was constantly heading toward that #1 spot.rnrnNot that it was ever going to get to #1, but you get the idea. My goal was initially to crack 100,000. Then 50,000 and 25,000 before I finally broke the top 10,000. Not bad for a personal blog, I figured

I’ve always noticed that when people use the phrase “the real world” they always say it with those imaginary quotation marks hanging in their voice. I’ve also noticed that people always equate the real world with a job of some sort. After all, that’s what you do after you graduate, right? A job is the very reason why we even go to school. Sur

As a sales recruiter I’ve always noticed that most of the top sales reps were entrepreneurs during college - things like summer lawn mowing businesses, painting, blacktopping services, etc. They made a few grand a summer. Nothing like Carl Ocab though.
