Yesterday marked a monumental day for the American gay community. The California Supreme Court ruled 4-3 to overturn the state's ban on same-sex marriage, paving the way for the Golden State to possibly become the second state - after Massachusetts - to allow gay couples to wed. Chief Justice Ronald George wrote the majority opinion, stating that marriage is a "basic civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual," according to The New York Times.

Each year since I began my experience at Ohio State in 1997 I have attended football games and cheered on my Buckeyes. I sat through stifling heat, bitter cold, torrential rains and sloppy snow. Nothing could keep me from participating in an integral part of being a student at OSU.
After graduating in 2002, I wanted to support my alma mater and attend the one game per season the OSU Alumni Association allowed its members. It wasn't much compared to the season tickets I had as a student, but I was willing to take whatever crumbs were offered me in order to enjoy a game.

Imagine if you had one small device that weighed under 12 ounces that could potentially have all your class textbooks, your New York Times subscription and 24-7 access to Wikipedia? Anyone who has visited Amazon.com lately has seen the new device called a Kindle. The Kindle is touted as the "electronic paper" that supposedly mimics paper in look with many powerful features built in. It weighs about as much as an average book (about 10 ounces). It operates on the same technology as your cell phone and you can purchase books, magazines and newspapers for your Kindle-reading pleasure. There are some other neat bells and whistles like free Wikipedia access and the ability to instantly look up unknown words, a feature I admit might be the best part. At $399, it's the price of a low-end desktop computer, and you have to purchase the books individually.
