‘Till Death Do Us Part...
November 19, 2009 4:05 PM by Bob Mitchell
...well, not really. In the beautiful world of social networking and social media, you can live in infamy, for the rest of your earthly existence or beyond for that matter. Facebook recently posted a blog about the need to memorialize an account when Read More...

Mourning Paper
October 5, 2009 1:09 PM by Mark McGraw
Being 36 years old and a journalist, I have to acknowledge a soft spot for newspapers. I remember a time when the local weekly was really the only game in town when it came to delivering news, sports scores, political commentary and the ruminations of Read More...

"So"
September 22, 2009 3:44 PM by Bob Mitchell
A recent report by Accountemps caught my attention as the survey revealed some of the most overused (and annoying) workplace words. I have one that has reached the "annoying" level with me. It is the lovely two-letter word, "so." The word is used to tie Read More...

Common Ground
September 16, 2009 12:40 PM by Mark McGraw
The ruckus surrounding health care reform has been well-documented, here and elsewhere. If you're looking for careful, considered discourse on the U.S. health care system and how to fix it, the seemingly endless stream of "town hall-style" forums and Read More...

Health Reform? Good Chance, Not
August 10, 2009 3:32 PM by Bob Mitchell
Vile. Nasty. I have to hang my head in shame. The behavior of some of my neighboring Pennsylvania's residents who came to the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia recently to discuss, oops, yell about health care reform was unbelievable. An IT Read More...

A Gratifying Experience
August 5, 2009 10:05 AM by Bob Mitchell
A few weeks ago I posted a blog about a new wave of microvolunteerism sweeping through cyberspace, and noted that I would be doing my own form of volunteering through Habitat for Humanity in the coming weeks. It was the first time I had undertaken such Read More...

Microvolunteerism Takes Shape
July 17, 2009 10:19 AM by Bob Mitchell
Volunteerism used to be something you did over the weekend for the overall good of society; however, now there's a Web site dedicated to " microvolunteerism ." It kind of reminds me of the microbrews I enjoy. Not like the big conglomerate breweries, but Read More...

The Recession is Over
June 10, 2009 2:19 PM by Bob Mitchell
A bold statement for sure, and one that begs the question: How do I know the recession is over? Well, I looked into my crystal ball...er, paper bag, and it is definitely over. What, you question the validity of this statement? Come on now, I'm an honest Read More...
