Hats off to you, smarty pants!!

It is a Philadelphia-area tradition that our local ABC station (WPVI) every year does a salute to the “Best of the Class.”  For the 28th presentation, presented by Drexel University, more than 230 of the area’s top high school students will be honored. During the special ½ hour broadcast ( I was unable to find the time on the WPVI website), hosts Matt O’Donnell and Tamala Edwards will interview these students. Where are they going to college? What will their major be? What are their hopes and dreams for the future? Additionally, the station will air a series of commercial spots that will feature the portraits of these top acheivers.  These special extended spots will air on Saturday evenings at 7:55 pm starting May 29th. Please check the WPVI website for a schedule of when each portrait will appear. (more…)

Independents cannot participate. (more…)

Magical place where they give you free books

I love going to Barnes & Noble.  It’s a great feeling to walk up and down the aisles of books, pick up a few that look appealing, settle into a chair, and read for a while.  The only problem is that I can’t stay there all day and after I get really interested in a book, I end up shelling out the dough to take it home so I can finish it.  And jeez, these days books can cost up to $40! Not great news in this economy, eh?  E-books help cut down the per book cost, but you have to make a pretty hefty up-front investment in otder to acheive those savings.  Plus, many still cannot adjust to the idea of reading from a screen.
