My Will Smith "Genie" Parody
This is my very first parody gone public. My Will Smith "Genie" Parody! I've been making up songs for years, but this is the first time that I actually did something with it for other people to enjoy. I felt like with all the smack that's been going on towards Will Smith about his first appearance as the genie in Disney's new 2019 live-action film, Aladdin, that he deserved some kind of praise for it. Mind you, yes, I did use his music from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to make this song a reality, but I did it all in good fun. Trust me, compared to the other stuff that is out there, this is very minor as far as making fun of this thing goes. I mean, honestly people, what did you expect?

Netflix Disrupted
This is another think piece in what will certainly be a long line of think pieces about how Green Book ended up walking away with the 91st Academy Award for Best Picture on February 24, 2019. A lot of ink will be spilled about Oscar campaigns but most will single out a lone reason why Alexander Cuaron's Roma didn't beat Green Book, and that reason is because it is a Netflix movie. That may have played a part but it's not the only reason, and frankly not even the biggest reason for the upset.

LGBT+ Representation for the Young Demographic
There has been plenty of discussion regarding the representation of the LGBT+ community. However, one of the points that people seem so confident in is the idea that kids wouldn't be able to understand what it means to be gay or some other sexuality that isn't heterosexual.

The House Appreciation Series: Slytherin
Slytherin is actually the only Hogwarts house that I have never been sorted into. Don't get me wrong —I love Slytherins! My personality is just the exact opposite of someone who is cunning or ambitious (we'll say this is a hint in case you haven't already guessed my house —to be revealed soon!).

Four of the Worst Media Portrayals of Technology in History
If you're reading this website, there's a good chance that you self-identify as a geek. That probably also means that you're fairly well-versed in technology topics, or at least have a passing familiarity with them. If you do, you're not alone.
