Downton Abbey & Mad Men: What do TV shows say about our culture?

Elisa C.

I am one of those people who loves TV. Yes, I also love reading books but after a long day, to me, there’s nothing better than curling up on the couch and watching TV.

How Do You Bowl: Super Bowl or AdBowl?

Elisa C.

There was an early sign I was meant to go into marketing: I was a kid and was so excited for the Super bowl ads. We’re not talking “yay,” excitement but all out “this is just as good as Christmas excitement.”

To prepare, my father, ever the analyst, created a spreadsheet in which he recorded each family member’s rating of each ad on a ten point scale.MORE…

In Defense of Boston: Why I love that dirty water

Devon J.

Is it just me or has Boston been getting a pretty bad rap lately? I really should start with the caveat that I am a born and raised Bostonian; from the Pru to the Pats to the Public Gardens, I love it all.

Give Me My Angry Birds!

Nora T.

I will be the first to admit – I was not an early adopter of Angry Birds. I would make fun of my friends who spent hours captivated by the squealing pigs and their avian foes. Don’t you have something better to do, I would ask.

And then one day, that all changed. A few months ago I decided it was time to leave the world of BlackBerry and enter the new and exciting world of the Droid. With my new phone in hand I thought I would download Angry Birds and just see what all of the fuss was about.MORE…
