Wow. 25 years old. A quarter century on this earth. I can't believe it. I can, actually. I mean, I'm not that old. I'm not reaching a age like 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90 that's something to cheer about. But this
When my company purchased iPhones for the entire staff, I was excited. I had had an iPhone for about a year, used it for nearly everything, and would like to have a phone to lean on for work-related usage. And really, what could be better than having two iPhones? But

It's time for some time off. For the next 19 days, I’m on vacation, the longest stretch of not going to work I've had, well, since I got my first job in 9th grade. I don't have a destination (maybe a few day

So the election is over. I don't even know where to begin. It's been really a nine-month effort with everyone at work. When our new company MLive Media Group launched, we focused day one on how we would cover the election. We all worked really hard
