A Social Media Letter From My Grandfather

My grandfather is an awesome guy, and very tech-savvy. He's 74 years old and owns a bluetooth equipped vehicle that pairs with his HTC One Android phone, has Fios for his internet, and rocks a quad-core computer. He's also on Facebook and I recently sent him an invitation to join Twitter when I accidentally sent a request to everyone in my phone when I re-installed a new version of iOS. One thing I forgot to mention about my grandfather: he's also hilarious. You can see why for yourself once you read the email he sent me in response to the Twitter invitation. You can see a screenshot of the email here, or just read the... Read More

Dear BC, I'm dating a girl, we're in love, and we have both stated that we want to be married and that we have never felt a love like this in our lives. We have talked extensively about marriage, our futures, and how strong our love is for each other. Now, we were moving forward with engagement (ring purchasing, talking to parents) and out of the blue, she told me that she has feelings for her ex-boyfriend and she doesn't know what that means. She said it may be nothing, but she misses him and doesn't know if that means she cares for him or just that she misses something comfortable. She said she wants to talk with him, and I don't like that... Read More

Oh, Adobe Flash. You're still around, but not quite as much as you used to be in your heyday of video creation. Way back in the mid 2000's, Flash was used for everything from You Don't Know Jack games to websites like HomeStarRunner.com. And you know what? We miss you. Well, mostly Home Star Runner, but also the creative videos that were made completely out of Flash - like JibJab's This Land. JibJab is a digital studio company from Venice, California. They were founded in 1999, but didn't hit it big until the 2004 US presidential election when they released the video for "This Land." The video set a new bar for what online political... Read More

We get some interesting questions in our "Ask a Woman" section, and at first we dismissed this as a joke. Then we did some research and we're fairly certain that "cousin brother" is a common term in India to refer to a male cousin. Pardon our ignorance of the culture, and read on for our thoughts on arranged marriages. My uncle and aunt are in the process of selecting a bride for my cousin brother. The thing is that, although he is handsome, and he is a dentist, and more good qualities - it seems that ladies whom his parents tried to select, turned him down. He is nice guy, and I feel he needs a good wife too. Can you give me some tips that I... Read More
