I set out to write about board people (snowboard, skateboard, surfboard) today and their insanely radical contributions to recreation, sport, and the slang use of "radical." I was completely dumbfounded to discover the most radically talented three-board person wasn't even a person at all. In fact, it was a ...

Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. But little girl's scorn can be much, much worse. Like baby venomous snakes that inject too much toxin into their adversary, they don't know the extent of their radical powers. So buy as many girl scout cookies as you ...
March Radness – Day 9

Yuri A. Gagarin probably isn't the first name that pops in your mind when discussing who's rad these days. Although I think that may change when you understand who he is and why he's included in the pantheon of Radness.
He's the first space cosmonaut. The first ...

Today is International Women's Day! I for one am in full support. Women are totally rad. From top to bottom, front to back, they are perfection personified. Not to mention, we pretty much don't exist without them. Enjoy your day ladies! Your rad-iliciousness is ...

Willard Scott is a rad dude because he's been making people feel pretty darn rad about themselves for decades. Also because he totally gets to work in his underwear if he wants. Now that's commanding some radical respect.

Break out your optimism,
Ready your pride,
For you're about to embark,
On one heck of a ride.
Linsanity's over,
The Pack was a bust,
It's time to start swinging,
And buff out that rust.
The raddest decree,
Since the ride of Paul Revere,
Let's play ball!
Spring training is here.

Everything happens for a reason, perhaps for a radical reason. You decide. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone was born on this day in 1847. Today, a mere 165 years later, I'm writing, photo editing, creating, and blogging on a phone pursuing artistic passions to entertain ...
March Radness – Day 2

There are wonderful ways
To be honored for good work
You can be promoted
Or pay raised
Or given an assistant with some quirk.
If you manage to carve out
A niche for this world
There's not much holding you back
As I'm sure you've unfurled.
But if radical effort
Is what you put forth
Then prepare ...
