Driving Miss Daisy

Ed. Note: This piece was written by a friend of Nova’s at Dayton International Airport, Linda Hughes. We thought it was too good not to share.

I said goodbye to an old friend today. Daisy and I had been more than just friends. We had gone through so much together over the last 14 years. It’s hard to imagine life without her by my side. I didn’t realize that her departure would affect me so emotionally. I remember when we first met. She was sharp looking, and carried herself in a sleek, mature and classy style. We both knew immediately that we clicked. We had both been around the block a few times. And yes, we were both well broken in and we brought all of our prior experiences to the ease of our new journey together. She was someone I wanted to be seen with. Whenever I showed up with Daisy she made me look a little more classy and professional. Over the years it was as if she could read my mind. If I even thought about turning to the right, she would be there before I could give it a second thought. read more Read more

Virality

By now, you’ve likely heard of SOPA & PIPA and all the protests revolving around them.  If not, definitely take a minute to read up on what’s going on in Congress in terms of the freedom of the internet.

In other Internet news, I’m a little bit in awe of the “viral” mechanism the internet creates.  Just yesterday, a friend found the following video posted on Reddit and shared it with me only 6 hours after it was uploaded by an un-famous person from Australia. Throughout the day, I saw at least 20 other people & news outlets talking about it and reposting it on Twitter & Facebook. read more Read more
