What’s up everyone!

The holiday season has been hectic, but I definitely plan to be back soon with more updates. The site will go through another renovation, and we will be back and better than ever! In the meantime, I wanted to pass a deal along for my car aficionados:

I’ve been going through the windsheild wiper struggle for a minute, and the good folks over at SilBlade came to the rescue!

SilBlade wipers utilize patented silicone technology that set us apart. Our wiper blades are not affected by extreme weather conditions, sunlight, ozone, oil and grime from road spray. Nor are they affected by extreme temperatures – as low as -80°F and as high as 400°F.

SilBlade was created in 1993 by former GE Silicone scientists who were committed to developing the ultimate windshield wiper. The patented formula uses a unique blend of silicone rubber (for durability) and graphite (for superior surface wipe) resulting in the BEST silicone wiper on the market

The text book struggle is real. If i had a dollar for every back alley deal that was made to curb the costs of a class that you’d never use in the real world, I’d be rich! I always wondered why they were so high, and this infographic highlights some of the reasons. What text book issues did you have/do you have today?

Generation Mobile – how cell phones shape college students lives

Published by Streetz in Education, Featured on November 10th, 2011 | No Comments »

We are all aware of cell phone use in everyday life, but how are cell phones, and smartphones, shaping student lives? You may find some interesting stats from this graphic, detailing mobile use by students. I know cell phone use just started getting heavy when I was in school (Early 2000′s). With the advent of the smartphone, the possibilities now are endless! Think about the apps you can create for study notes, flash cards, lesson plans, all that. I’m sure blackboard should have an app by now too. I’m also sure that many of you have used this tech to swindle a test or three right? *daps* Check the graph below:

Infographic: 8 Myths about Financial Aid

Published by Streetz in Featured, Money Matters on November 9th, 2011 | No Comments »

Financial aid for higher education helps many students and families cover the costs to attend college. Believe it or not, even those who are finically capable to pay for college are eligible for financial help. Sound too good to be true? Here are 8 other myths about financial aid:

Created by: Online Graduate Programs

As someone who took out their fair share of loans, my best advice would be to use your resources. Apply to all types of financial aid and research. I don’t care if Church’s chicken is giving out scholarship money, get that! I definitely didn’t do that and I missed out on a lot of funding. Doesn’t matter if you’re straight out of High School or continuing education either. Get that $$!

Thoughts?

Streetztalk.net presents the new e-book: Fly On The Wall #FOTW

Published by Streetz in Announcements, E-Books, Featured on November 1st, 2011 | Comments Off

After about 8-9 months of writing, hard work, and pure struggle across the board, I am finally able to present to you my first e-book: “Fly on The Wall”. I finally set the hard deadline of November 2nd, after missing about 5 previous deadlines. I actually had this book done about a month ago, but wanted to put the final touches on it so that its perfect. Then I had to remind myself that if I keep trying to perfect this book, it will never be complete.This book did not become the Detox of E-Book releases (despite all the jokes from my SBM fam), and I’m happy to present it to you.

This book is a journey through my mind with me narrating. I’m doing my best Morgan Freeman impression here, as I take you through my mind and my thoughts. The type of thoughts usually reserved for those close to me, that may not be PC, but are 100% Dead Stock Authentic! I had a lot of fun writing this book, and I hope you have the same amount of fun reading! I would love to discuss the book with you, and get your honest feedback. So please drop a note on this page with any questions or comments and we can have an open discussion about #FOTW. If you are shy, you can always drop me a note on the contact page and I can answer you directly.

I’ve also added a donate button on the site. Just like freeware or the past, WordPress plugins, and any other application for the many devices of the world, I leave that option to “bless the collection plate” if you feel so inclined to support my work monetarily.The book is 100% free, and I’m glad to provide it to you that way! If you do leave a donation, please leave an email address so that I may contact you with a proper thank you!

With all that said, I present my first published work to you all. Fly on the Wall. Enjoy!

Facebook University: How Facebook enhances the college experience [INFOGRAPHIC]

Published by Streetz in Featured, Lifestyle on October 27th, 2011 | No Comments »

Facebook wasn’t around when I was in college. However, while I was in grad school, it finally came to Hofstra and the world would never be the same. The Book evolved over time (remember when it was The Facebook and only open to college students), but there’s no denying the impact it has on the college experience. You can reach out and touch other people from other campuses. You can find out about the latest events and gossip. It can bolster your academic and social life. I did grow up in the Blackplanet era, but Facebook was next level. Sheesh! Check out how Facebook augments the college experience in the infographic below. Props to Pete for the graphics!

Published by Streetz in Featured, Health and Fitness on October 25th, 2011 | 1 Comment »

With all the talk about healthcare in this country, it’s safe to say that healthcare = big business. Now, for those who have the copay struggle embedded deep within their souls like me, we know that without coverage, some of these prescription drugs are outrageously overpriced! I always wondered why, but didn’t really pay attention as long as I had healthcare to hedge those costs. This infographic sheds some light into the healthcare industry, mainly the brand name drugs, to see where these costs originate. Check it out and let me know your thoughts!
