February 11th, 2010
By Audra Foster
I have a few theories about this snow, because there’s no way it’s natural. There’s a higher power at work here. There has to be. This is Pennsylvania, people, not Michigan. Not Massachusetts or Maine or Minnesota or ...
The iPad: What’s In A Name?
February 4th, 2010
By Audra Foster
To be honest, the only fault I have with the iPad—or, as I like to think of it, the iTablet or iSlate—is the fact that it is called the iPad, because in the week since it’s ...

December 9th, 2009
By Audra Foster
1. “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”
Because we’re all so cold and desensitized by violent video games that it’s funny when sweet old grandmother’s die. It’s a typical middle school boy song, not a Christmas carol worthy ...
Standardized Testing: The Musical
December 9th, 2009
By Audra Foster
If you thought the SATs were bad the first time, imagine having to relive them, this time accompanied by song and dance. I have a healthy respect for student productions because I know the sweat and tears that ...

Dearest cousins, truly I must tell ye
Of a marvelous place in which many
Strange and wondrous people do reside and
