Cell phones and laptops seem to have become the defining tools of our society. Walking across campus is like swimming in a sea of technology! It’s the rare person who isn’t talking, texting, surfing, or at least listening to an iPod. But for all their entertainment value, there can be a dark side, too.

We are three weeks into Winter Quarter here at TCC, and I have a theory about parking- it’s all about timing!

2012 is the year that, on winter solstice, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way galaxy. It happens every 26,000 years, and will be the closest point the sun has been to Earth in that long.

Where is the line that separates freedom of speech from disturbing the peace? Common sense would ask that when on Tuesday, huge, disturbing signs were held up to the public. These signs were nearly three feet by four feet, and lined 19^th and Mildred by the dozens.

As the promises of change have been slow in coming for the Obama administration, the President has introduced a major overturn of the Bush policy.  The justice department has confirmed that federal agents will no longer pursue or investigate medical marijuana users or their suppliers.

Hallowmean vs. Stephen King

The argument I have isn't with ghouls being replaced by ankle biters in Spongebob costumes.  I get that.  The gripe isn't even with trick or treaters flocking to the mall in droves, despite my assumption that the candy bowl next to my front door will remain full.  Religion doesn't play a role; in fact, Happy Samhain (New Years) to our Pagan friends.  No, my beef is with Hollywood.  More directly to the directors and producers churning out Halloween inspired “horror” movies.
