A Return to Blogging?

Yes, the blog has certainly fallen by the wayside over the past year or so.  Hundreds of hours spent in high school, hundreds more still spent doing homework, and hundreds of hours spent at a part-time job have a tendency to rearrange priorities.  Still, it’s summer, and I will not rule out a return to [...]

Schmap Detroit

Alright, I apologize for the abandonment of my blog, but fear not — DSU shall persevere.  I have no plans to stop blogging, however do not be surprised if posts continue to freeze up until the end of the school year.  Working part-time and going to high school is a combination that does not leave [...]

Michigan Proposes Tax on Sports Tix

I have not heard about this for awhile, but when I saw its consideration, I had an immediate reaction.  Michigan is considering placing a 6% on all tickets for sporting events, movies, concerts, and shows — equivalent to the sales tax rate here.  While this would raise ticket prices, I cannot see this having much [...]

Lack of Posting

Sorry about my absence from the blogosphere of late — a spring break that appeared to begin in a manner which led me to believe it would be legendary went south over the past few days. I was out of town on Tuesday and Wednesday, and last night a hard drive in my computer died [...]
