Chris Brown first came on the scene when I was in high school. I remember when “Run It,” one of his most famous songs, would play on the loudspeakers at dances, in our cars, and through our headphones. I even recall some people having it as their ringtones. He was popular, and we ate up [...]

When I’m studying for a calculus test at 2 a.m. or fighting a losing battle with a computer I’m programming, attending college doesn’t seem like a blessing.

Transferring the information from hundreds of paper documents to the online system was tedious, time-consuming, [...]
