Scotty is Lost In Space!
raincoaster | August 5th 2008
Actually, no. It’s worse: Scotty is slowly sinking to the bottom of the South Pacific in a fine grey cloud of ash. Dignified and strange, in its own way, and somehow an almost-adequate substitute for the original plan, which was for the cremai read more

'Outback Red' by The Limited
Trapped In The 80s Moms | July 26th 2008 by kara
Okay. I know that the 'Outback Red' line from The Limited can't hold a candle to Forenza, but it was a nice option that tended to appeal as much to our Baby Boomer parents as it did to us. Inspired by films like "Out of Africa", there was a bit of d read more

Gen X, Gen Y, and Boomers in the Workplace: Exclusive Panel Tells…
BusinessPundit | July 24th 2008 by Rob
Generation Y are lazy slobs. Gen-Xers are too cynical to make a decent contribution to the workplace. Baby Boomers sold out, and they brought the entire economy with them. Sound familiar? I hear the discourse all the time. Each successive generation read more
