In Age of Digital Music, Vinyl Gets Second Life in a Brooklyn Factory

I love when anything old is reused to become something new and innovative and this small company has done just that.  They are using old records, taking them apart, and re-making them into new records to play music.

Serving a Cause, 25 Cents at a Time

At 18, Noah Fradin created the site Cherry Card.  It is a site where consumers can donate $0.25 to the charity of their choice.  A lot of people have doubted Fradin because of his youth, but he is proving to know and care about what he is talking about.

Keep Your Thumbs Still When I’m Talking to You

I think this is going to be a ongoing problem.  Social Media being available on our cell phones have made it very easy to constantly be connected to everyone over the internet.  But, when it comes to personal communication, some people are so uncomfortable with discussing things in person.  When saying something over the internet, you have a chance to think about it before it comes out.

Is the iPad 2 Better than the Original?

I still do not have an iPad but I found this article very informative about the differences between the first and second generation.  Before reading this article, if I were to get an iPad I probably would have gotten the first one because of price.  But after reading this, my mind has been changed.
