Written by: Matt Weisse When I was first offered the opportunity to receive and try my own pair of yurbuds (all “y”s are officially lowercase), I was both interested and skeptical.

December 10, 2009 Columns

Written by: Matt Weisse As our semester comes to an end, I’ve compiled a list of 20 of my favorite songs of 2009. These songs are in no particular order, and I’m sure there are plenty of songs I forgot. Maybe I’ll do another 20 when we get back.

April 30, 2009 Columns

Written by: Matt Weisse I spent my first semester with The Vanguard reviewing everything from TV shows to iPods, but it was inevitable that some things would slip through undiscussed.
