What’s on my mind today?
Summertime has come and (almost) gone, and now that we’ve all gotten that pesky fresh air and outdoor goodness out of the way, it’s time we can focus on the things that REALLY matter, namely TV. There are only a handful (thankfully) of new shows coming this season that I’m looking forward to [...]

So I was reading Cornell Alumni Magazine the other day - yeah, I like to keep up on my alma mater, you got a problem with that? - and they had an interesting article on the future of the campus. You know, about how they can expand and improve and modernize [...]
