Link Love

What better way to start the week than with the some of the most interesting stuff the Internet has to offer?

Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden passed away on Friday at the age of 99. Even if you’re not a sports fan, you should check out his great “Woodenisms.

An interesting look at co-education at the collegiate level from Feministing.

Women in the workplace: one bankers says she was fired for being too sexy, while five anchors at Al-Jazeera quit because they were harassed for not following “modest” dress codes.

Do you know how to protect yourself on Facebook?

From one of my favorite blogs, More Magic Always, an argument for minimalism.

Video Love

If you’re still singing along to “Break Even”, watch the video for The Script’s previous single, “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved”.

900 people lip-synch to the impossibly catchy “Hey Soul Sister” by Train.

Meet Costa Rica’s answer to Shakira: Debi Nova. This may just be the perfect summer song.

Speaking of Shakira, she sings the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, an adaptation of a traditional soldiers’ song.

New Beginnings

Hello World!

Today is June 1st.  Today marks the start of a new month, and pretty soon summer will start for real. I love flipping over to the next page of my calendar: it’s a fresh start, a new beginning. Even if it’s just for a day, a new month is filled with anticipation and possibility. Just imagine what can happen in a month- there can be so many things to look forward to.

And so that’s why today, June 1st, seemed like as good a time as any to start my blog. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a few months, and I have a lot of (hopefully great) ideas for this blog. I’m excited to see this blog grow, but I’ll admit to being nervous. I’ve never tried blogging before, and now that I finally am, it seems daunting. Still, I am determined to make this venture of mine a success.

If you want to know more about me or about my goals for this blog, please check out the “About” section. And feel free to let me know about you. Why do you enjoy reading blogs? Do you have your own?

Thanks for stopping by!
