One of the many low-tech messages we received from Princess PeachThough we often praise (or disregard) the biggest things to hit technology, sometimes we just want to honor the little things. You know, those little treasure troves that we grew up with that made us realize how important technology is,…
No longer will we get to read the inner thoughts of Damien Berry or follow the sartorial misadventures of Jacory Harris. Miami Hurricanes football coach Randy Shannon has heard of this thing called “Twitter,” and he simply does not care for it. Apparently he thinks it’s distracting the team 140…
Twenty-five years ago, a tall woman in an awkward brown ensemble walked through the door of her Miami abode, cracked a joke in her no-nonsense baritone voice about the state of Miami-Dade public schools, and then, for the next seven seasons, with the help of her unapologetically over-the-hill housemates, made…

Last Friday, we had few details about the bizarre murder that left an 84-year-old woman dead at the hands of an 87-year-old who had also shot himself. Now, Juan Adolfo Gonzalez has been identified as the gunman. He told police he had been plotting the murder of Celina Hernandez, his ex-girlfriend,…
Miami’s large, GOP-leaning Cuban-American population is an important vote for Republicans running for statewide election, so it doesn’t bode well for gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott that he has picked up few endorsements from the area. Despite the fact that Miami-Dade politics are nonpartisan, newly elected school board member Raquel Regalado,…
It’s pretty clear that everyone else in the nation hates LeBron James and the Miami Heat, but now we have cold, hard numbers to back it up. The Q Score company gauges the favor-ability rankings of various athletes, and after reaching a peak high of popularity last year, James is…
A little more than a year ago, former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer made headlines by condemning President Barack Obama’s address to the nation’s schoolchildren on their first day of school as a “use of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda.” Greer, at the…
Shamed by Hugo Chavez’s 800,000 faithful followers and then really red-faced when North Korea’s regime beat them to the punch, Israel decided last month that it was finally time to give this whole Twitter business a try.The only problem? The @israel handle was already taken — by a Miami-based porn…
Dexter Morgan, the fictional anti-hero of local author Jeff Lindsay’s book series and Showtime’s hit drama, trades in on Miami’s violent image as a crime scene analyst by day and a serial killer of other serial killers by night. Though, the violence, as Miami’s tourism boards might want to let…
Fidel Castro now claims that his statement claiming that the Cuban model of communism no longer works was misinterpreted and taken out of context by an American journalist, but actions speak louder and words as the island nation has announced a major layoff of state workers. At least 500,000 workers…

The Miami Heat’s dance squad is the best in the NBA, and for many dancers getting to take to the hardwood at American Airline Arena is a dream come true. Sadly, Nancy G. Lopez-Ruiz will never get to make that debut. The 22-year-old had recently signed to the squad, but…
The Miami Dolphins offense lurched their way through yesterday’s season-opener against the Buffalo Bills, managing to score only one touchdown and two field goals in their 15-10 victory. But the Dolphins defense stepped up large with three sacks while holding the Bills’ offense to 189-total yards. In other words, thank…
Let’s be honest. Even more than choosing a name, after the birth of a baby boy deciding whether to get the kid circumcised is usually the biggest decision parents have to make. Hey, that baby can go by a nickname or change it legally when he grows up, but once…
The idea was simple genius. Heartbroken Clevelanders could send their unwanted LeBron James jerseys — those that weren’t in flames — to Miami to be distributed to the local homeless. But this being the summer of LeBron, things had to take a turn for the bizarre. The jersey drive –…
From the depths of despair to the pinnacle of victory, this season’s roller coaster ride keeps on going for the Miami Central Rockets.After last weekend’s soul crushing defeat to Georgia state champs Camden County, the Rockets responded with a 48-6 annihilation of 3A Dallas Madison on Saturday. The rout meant…

Sure, there are pressing issues out there like health care, the economy and wars, but going by America’s ever growing obesity rate, the most important issue in all of America continues to be French fries. With the exception of the 2003 “freedom fries” controversy, politicians hardly address the issue that…
It might take a crack squad of psychoanalysis to properly dissect all the emotions Canes Nation has been going through leading up to Tomorrow’s game against Ohio State. To put it simply though, a win in this game would feel better and be more monumental than almost any other win…
Ladies, when it comes to about 75 percent of Jennifer Lopez films, namely the vapid chicks flick, if you find your man watching one alone it either means he’s gay or just checking out Jennifer Lopez. Shannon Wriska, of Santa Rose County, Florida, found her hubby watching one, and figured…
