Georgia House, Senate disagreements send campus carry, campus rape bills into conference committees

The Georgia House and Senate are having some differing opinions on Sine Die, the final day of the General Assembly legislative session. House Bill 280 and Senate Bill 71, the latter of which was gutted and replaced with the text from House Bill 51, have been disapproved by the House and Senate, respectively. For House Bill 280, which looks to allow concealed carry on college campuses, the House…

The potential of Cortana in the world of Siri and Google Now

Arguably one of the best features of Windows 10, as well as perhaps creepiest, is the inclusion of the digital assistant Cortana. A late-game introduction to the world of digital assistants long after Siri and Google Now had pretty much cemented their place in their respective ecosystems, with manufacturers like Samsung trying to produce their own assistants and have them baked into their…

I have committed a journalistic sin. I have lied. Unintentionally, of course. Well… Okay, my alibi. I was in Wal-Mart, mobile Facebook sucks, I couldn’t get the numbers in time so I tried to remember them the best I could. Doesn’t change the fact that invalid numbers are plastered on the front page of the paper. It was a bad poll to begin with. I asked the wrong question, gave confusing answer…

A world without Andrea is a terrible world, a world in which the freshman fifteen becomes the freshman forty for me, a world in which I never step foot into the gym, in which I have no motivation, no inspiration to exercise, a world in which Andrea’s determination and dedication to physical fitness, despite an injury to her knee, does not influence me to push myself to better health, a world in…

Outgoing. Approachable. Encouraging. Caring. Always positive.

There are many words that people use to describe who Michael McClary was. Some knew him as the dedicated young man focused on excelling in class and majoring in criminal justice. Others knew him as the guy who would be up on the tables downtown dancing like nobody was watching. Still others knew him as the guy who they could talk to,…

Am I a jerk for wanting to uphold the law? The only thing that comes to my mind when I question it is Sylvester Stallone in Judge Dredd. However, I am not Judge Dredd, and I must honestly reflect on my motivation behind “upholding the law.” Is it because I want those who violate it to learn better and be better citizens, or is it because of my desire for self-empowerment and the thrill of being…

“Interstellar”: A Nolan Film, Prepare to Question Everything

Interstellar is… a Christopher Nolan film. From the director who turned a comic book superhero into a socio-political debate that commented on morals and messed with the psyche, as well as other non-comic book movies that commented on morals and messed with the psyche, comes a movie that comments on morals and messes with the psyche. That being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.…

Can I catch my breath? Just a second? No? Okay…

Busy busy busy. Bit of a scare, still worried when I think about it. Hopefully everything will turn out alright in a few days. Training for the Peachtree Road Race was fun, and the race itself was awesome! One hour, five minutes, twenty seconds, and that was all my decided pace. Not bad, a personal best actually. Then work, painful legs. Then fireworks. Felt like three days as opposed to one.…
