Taylor Swift's Latest About Jake?

Taylor Swift has just released the video for her latest, "We Are Never, Ever, Getting Back Together." As Taylor is known to write about her relationships, we can't help but wonder who this one is about. One look at this video, though, and the mystery is pretty much solved!

Read Any Good Books Lately?

If you're looking for a good summer read, check out Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell is the author of Tipping Point and Blink, but I think this book is much more interesting. It's a look at the recipe for success. It's not just smarts, or hard work, it's also the gift of opportunity. The fact that the Mothers Club at Bill Gates' school used fundraising money to buy a computer in 1968 was instrumental in Bill Gates becoming...well, Bill Gates. Fascinating stuff.
