If you remember, earlier year I was busy in search of a summer internship. With my summer internship over, I’m refocusing on employment upon graduation.
Naturally, that means a new website. Now you can view my skills and credentials via HireBrian.org. This is pretty much an alias to my older hire.brianburnham.com site, but the update afforded [...]

It’s an election year, which means words like “liar” spout from left and right. I’m not sure it if is war-time angst or bitterness from the closeness of the last election, but this election has seen all kinds of resentment from both sides.
To make things more interesting, a group who call themselves the Swift [...]

I thought finals would keep me out of trouble, but I was wrong. Somewhere during a few slow marketing lectures I started work on a couple of website ideas - and now coming into finals week I’m bringing a couple projects online.
GearPile.com and LDSreview.net both cater to specific audiences. If you’re an outdoorsman/adventure sports [...]

Can’t say I wasn’t pulling for Pirates. The Rings did racket it up, but don’t think everyone in New Zealand made it on stage. Whale Ridder, a real New Zealand film had Keisha Castle-Hughes there up for Best Actress. She wasn’t near pretentious enough to win.

In the spirit of Jon’s recent , I’ve decided to post some of my MT tinkerings. If you’re a TypePad user, you may have noticed the “TypeList” feature that allows you to build your own blogroll, etc. TypeLists are a particularly nice way to store data in categories and build blogrolls and FOAF descriptions.

How about last week?
Oprah turned 50.
Oprah earned national celebrity by debunked the popular “fat and happy” myth, proving once and for all it’s much better to be “rich and happy”.
