It’s a bit harsh at points but it’s an interesting statement on what our society thinks grownup means. It means being responsible and independence according to the article. I’m in complete agreement with the responsible part. The independence part not entirely if it means not depending on your friends for things and instead paying professionals. To me part of being friends to be be there for my friends. It’s okay to me that people depend on me. Here are some thoughts I had while reading:
You are completely fine to never send me a thank you note and save a tree.
Feel free to assume you can crash here if you need a place to stay when coming through town.
I will absolutely help you move. ASK ME. I kind of like it and I think it’s stupid to pay for movers.
For those of your not on twitter(or Facebook) you will not have seen that we(Farrell IT and PharrOut) launched a new site today: rvatweets!
Yes, it’s pink. Get over it.
The point of the site is to allow community conversation and reporting over twitter and flickr. Anytime any major event happens in RVA we’ll have a tag on there for it. Tag your content with that tag and your tweets/photos will end up on the site. We hope it will be a great way for people to stay up to date on things and just be a good general resource for RVA. Enjoy!

They are about to start their season and could use our support! I’ll be updating this blog with more info about games as they come up.
Regarding the title of this post, this may be a pipe-dream but as I was thinking about sports in Richmond I couldn’t help but think that what sport really belonged in the bottom was soccer. All the best soccer experiences in the world have a couple things in common… they are soccer-specific stadiums near pubs and public transit. No place in the greater Richmond area represents that possibility better than the bottom! What do you think?
Update 2: WNRIR is now on the Public Radio Tuner as well! Now we just need WCVE and we’ll be all set!
Update: WNRN is now on the Public Radio Tuner app as seen in the comments and used by me this morning. Go WNRN!
This weekend I found out about the Public Radio Tuner app for the iPhone. It’s a very cool app and will get some use here. Unfortunately it doesn’t have any of the local public radio stations on it. So I took it upon myself to figure out how to listen to them and here is what I came up with:
