That teenage girl you see sitting at the mall, fingers a blur as she texts something of great import to someone?  Well, she just might be the next best-selling author, if the success of Bunny means anything to anyone.  Bunny is the pen name of a 16-year-old Japanese girl whose recent cell phone novel, called a keitai by the Japanese publishing industry, has become a runaway hit best-seller, moving over 110,000 copies according to Starts Publishing Company.  She typed the story 1,000 characters at a time on her cell phone.

This just goes to show you that anyone with an idea can write a book, and I mean anyone.  There’s always some excuse, but Bunny didn’t let the fact that she’s busy with school stop her from typing her novel.  She just ran with her story, called Wolf Boy x Natural Girl, and used her free time between classes or waiting for the train or whatever, and typed it up.  Given that it’s a high-school romance it’s probably not a good novel, but when has good ever been best-selling?

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.
