International Women's Day, thanks to Google.

As we’ve established, Google loves any excuse to make a new logo doodle.  Today’s excuse?  International Women’s Day.  However, Google is doing way more than simply creating a Doodle for women’s rights, they’re actually organizing and hosting a series of International Women’s Day events and rallies.  You can find Google’s International Women’s Day events here.

At the first International Women’s Day event, women’s rights protestors gathered at bridges to show their support of women’s rights and the plight of women everywhere.  That tradition continues to this day.  At the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Millennium Bridge in London, and the Grand Barriere Bridge in the Congo, women will be gathering to rally and show support.  Plus, at other bridges, there are other events going to happen, so feel free to check in virtually or head on down yourself (if you’re close enough to a rally).

The Western world has come a long way in equality, what with Title IX and the ERA, but there are a lot of places not as enlightened when it comes to women and stereotypes persist.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
