I still have a few months to go before our season opener against Alabama on Sept 5th and it still seems like a lifetime away. It's pitiful- I'm religiously checking Twitter, HokieSports, ACC page and ESPN for any news concerning our football team. I've refrained from texting some of my friends

Burruss Hall is named after our 8th school president- Julian Burruss. He was the first alumni to become president and his claim to fame is convincing the board of visitors to allow white women to attend the college.

Your kid is a junior in high school. This summer you'll be college shopping if you haven't already started. You know nothing about Virginia Tech but it should be on your list. Why?

I've been meaning to put this post out there for quite some time, then a month or two ago another agent did something similar and so I figured it was probably time to move it up the To-Do list.A lot of people ask me "when's that house down the street going

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by WDBJ7's news anchor Natasha Ryan about a story she was writing on the online social media site called Twitter.
Now, I've admitted my addictions here on the blog before, and it was interesting to see a local news outlet not only recognizing the

I've written before about Virginia Tech's focus on energy research and sustainability, even going so far as to say that the university's focus on these issues is a nice example of putting their money where their mouth is, with no outside pressure. And I believe that. And appointments such as these

Inman News posted information last week a new plan whose focus was to streamline the loan modification process.
I'm admittedly behind on this post, and it's been rehashed across the web. Essentially, if (1) you're at least 90 days delinquent on a home that is your primary residence and on which

And this one won't be, either.
A few days ago, I needed a break. I had been in the office all day working on some things, and my craving for a Diet Pepsi Max (yea, I'm one of the 31 people across the nation that actually like the stuff) kicked in.

Rackspace, and it's webmail division of Mailtrust - which, coincidentally is Blacksburg-grown - IPO'd in August 2008, yet very little was written about it in the local paper.
