"When you are through changing, you are through." --Bruce Barton

We've seen the digital evolution affect the music and film industries already. For music, people back in the 70's and 80's would make their own mix-tapes of their favorite tunes, recording songs from vinyl records. With the advent of the VCR (and the subsequent laser disc), the film industry saw people do the same. Of course, the speed at which one could transfer music from vinyl to cassettes (or movies from tape cartridge to tape cartridge) was not as fast as the way we can do so today with computers. This time-consumption and tediousness was eliminated by a large percent with the arrival of digital music and video files. For reading content, that time, that shift, has come.

A Ranger, a Wizard, an Elf, and a Halfling walk into a Tavern, and the bartender says, "What is this, a party?"

In a different time when there was no internet, video gaming was in its infancy, and the Walkman cassette player was the generation's iPod, these were the stories that got me hooked.

Because I had more time during the December break, I was able to read quite a number of interesting online articles, which I'd like to share with all of you.
