What sets the X-Men apart from a lot of other superheroes is their origin story.
Unlike many other comic book characters, the X-Men are born with their powers.
There are no spider bites, no dramatic deaths of family members, no gamma radiation.
The X-Men are mutants. Their superpowers are part of who they are and always have been.
With that, each mutant has a choice to make when they discover their power: will they use it for good or for evil? Continue reading
I downloaded a new app for my iPhone a few weeks ago called Timehop. Timehop presents your day in Social Media History, allowing you to travel back to your posts across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and just about every other outlet (except for Myspace).
It also has an adorable dinosaur named Abe for a mascot. He’s at least 10% of why I downloaded the app.
Timehop is pretty neat. Looking back at all your old status updates and tweets is more fun than you might think. Our old social media posts exist in a weird realm of the internet. They seem so important at first – important enough for us to stop what we’re doing and let the world know exactly what we are doing.

What will your life look like 3 years from now?
Some of you may be facing 3 more years of the same old, same old status quo. Others may be on the precipice of major changes and choices in life.
But wouldn’t it be cool to jump 3 years into the future to get a glance at how things will pan out?
That’s what “Parks and Recreation” did on their recent season finale. Not to give anything away, but the final scene took Leslie Knope and her Pawnee crew on a bold leap , skipping over 3 years and settling into the near future where the next season will take place. Continue reading
You may not be able to travel back in time. But you can change the future.
That’s the theme of “About Time”, the new movie starring Rachel McAdams which just hit theaters. My girlfriend and I saw the film this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The plot focuses on a young man who learns a secret from his father on his 21st birthday – all the males in his family have the ability to travel back in time.
The young man knows instantly what he wants to use his gift for: to find a girlfriend.
At first the possibilities are endless for how to use his new power. He’s able to fix those awkward dinner conversations, perfect the first kiss, even stop the love of his life from meeting a bad boyfriend.
Late in the movie things really get interesting. I don’t think I’m spoiling anything, but the question for the main character becomes “Instead of traveling back in time to fix my mistakes, how can I do things better the first time around?” Continue reading
