Kable Kid Gets Back into Facebook

I was a freshman in college when Facebook first launched, back when it was known as thefacebook.com. I will never forget when I first got an e-mail from a friend asking me if I wanted to join Facebook. I didn't know what it was but I figured, "why not?"

My roommate and I joined at the same time looking over each others shoulders and finding where all of our friends were. We both had joined the Greek system and spent a lot of time looking for the boys we liked at the time, and all of our friends.

SkyFILES: A Better DTV Local Approach
Will what happened in Wilmington work for the rest of the nation?

The resources put into the single-market digital TV switch in the coastal North Carolina market earlier this month were extraordinary, to say the least. And as some said this week after the Senate Commerce Committee hearing on the digital TV transition, that localized effort would be very hard to duplicate - if not impossible - on a national scale. »
