If you thought the 10-Year Sorted! video was a trip down memory lane, just wait two more years until we get to do the Making Time one.

>>> Kudos to our buds at Apollo Audio, whom we are proud to say have been our mp3-streaming broheims of choice for years now. Though the company’s been making sweet music-Internet love for a while, their launch party is only just tonight. Get with the Apollo gang (it’s a gang of one, but don’t let […]

Yesterday, we took note of Earthlink’s final death rattle in Philadelphia as they make plans for removing the never-quite-finished public WiFi network that would have, could have, should have made Philadelphia unique among the nation’s big cities. In the piece, we wondered where in the hell was Wireless Philadelphia, the non-profit established to both work […]

Check out this clip from last night’s NBC10 news about the crackdown on underage tailgaters at Citizens Bank Park. Highlights include:
· The age-old “we can fight in a war, we deserve a beer” argument. Sorry, dude, but the only war you should be fighting is the one to get into college. Ed-u-ma-cation! Worth fighting for!
