“How to approach and meet a girl in your class”…oh my.
A few weeks back in Seven Days, Mistress Maeve dispensed some advice to a college guy on how to meet girls in school. I am no relationship sage, but I think her tips are better than, erm, the “follow a girl and set up a pseudo-coincidental meeting” method that this chap advocates: Hey, whatever works…
Cathy Resmer
When I started writing for Seven Days in 2001, I didn’t even have an internet connection. In fact, I was still selling little books of poems from my “Neo-Luddite Vending Machine.” A quarter would buy you either a book of poems, or a small piece of a TV that I smashed up in the basement…

Welcome to the Vermont 3.0 Blog
We’ve been thinking about starting a Vermont 3.0 blog ever since we held the first Vermont 3.0 Creative/Tech Career Jam last January. It just seemed like a logical extension of the networking that was happening that day. Our goal is to make this blog a place where businesspeople, students, geeks and creative types can connect…

Eatin’ Down Under: Episode 1
No, I’m not in Australia noshing on Vegemite sandwiches; but my mother, Mary Elizabeth, is. Mom went to the land of the kangaroo late last month to catch the premier performance of her opera, Kiravanu. It’s an environmentally focused childrens’ opera co-created with composer James Humberstone: He wrote the music, she wrote the words. I…
A Visit to Competitive Computing
Ed. Note: This is the first in a series of posts about Vermont companies and their creative solutions to technical challenges. Look for Nate’s next profile in a few weeks. I’ve always suspected that there is a lot of technical innovation happening in Vermont that no one ever hears about. When Vermont companies get any…
More like “Broken-Foot-alicious”
The Middlebury College community was rocked on Wednesday afternoon, after a Facebook message informed students that Gift of Gab of Blackalicious sustained an injury in France. The rap duo was scheduled to perform on campus this evening, and with tickets already sold, the Concert Committee was hard pressed to find a replacement…fast! Well, only 24…
Totally Exhausted
Thanks, everybody, for coming to the Bands of Burlington show last night. It’s been a while since I was out that late on a school night. I didn’t leave until 1 a.m. And I’m dragging this morning. But I told two people who won Sugarbush season passes last night that they could pick them up…

Bush = Manson?
Charlotte Dennett, the Progressive Party candidate for attorney general said Thursday that if elected she would assign the man who put Charles Manson behind bars to try Pres. George W. Bush on charges of murder, and conspiracy to commit murder. That prosecutor — 74-year-old Vincent Bugliosi of Los Angeles — joined Dennett at a Burlington…

Burlington Book Festival [SIV96]
9/14/08: Authors, illustrators, cartoonists and readers spent the weekend reveling in the written word at the 4th Annual Burlington Book Festival. What does the future hold for books in our increasingly technologically-driven society? Is the written word dying a terrible death or is it merely adapting into video games and text messaging? You be the…

News Quirks
Curses, Foiled Again John Wilkinson, 24, entered a drug store in Stanton, Texas, carrying what appeared to be a gun wrapped in a dark cloth, yelled at customers to get down and demanded Zanax and hydrocodine from the pharmacist. He made off with the drugs, according to police Chief Mike Adams, but when he reached…
Vermont Blog Roundup
Items of note in the Vermont blogosphere this week: The Vermont International Film Fest is coming up soon, and its blog is back online. Economist Art Woolf takes issue with Sky Barsch’s article about going solar in last Sunday’s Burlington Free Press. There’s some interesting debate happening over at Vermont Tiger. Here’s another post from…
Sodex-Poo
Last month, Seven Days published an article lauding the “green” credentials of UVM-contracted campus food mega-corp Sodexo. Lots of things come to the minds of us UVM students when we think about Sodexo. Sometimes “green” pops into my head. For example, green is the color my face turns after eating a greasy Sodexho burger sandwiched…
