It’s been a banner year for Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.  He’s the focus of a hit movie; he’s one of the youngest billionaires in the world, and his company Facebook has broken the 500 million user mark.  It’s not a huge surprise that all this attention has made Zuckerberg a media darling.  In fact, Mark Zuckerberg is Time’s Person of the Year for 2010.

This is a huge honor, and it’s reflective of the time and place in which we live.  Zuckerberg’s creation has changed how we see the world completely.  He’s changed the course of human interaction, relationships, news dissemination, end pretty much every aspect of modern culture thanks to his creation.  For better or worse, we’re living in a Facebook world now, and it’s time we all get used to it.

Recently, I found out a friend of mine from college has cancer.  How did I find this out?  His wife created a Facebook group dedicated to helping him beat cancer.  I didn’t even get a message about it, just an invite to the group.  That’s the world Facebook has created.

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.
