Also, Lifehacker has consistent updates with the world of technology. I find all my cool IT tags in delicious through lifehacker.

What I do like about del.icio.us is that it made me start looking at certain blogs and sites on a daily basis. Now, without even realizing it, I check these blogs and site before I start my day. By doing so, I will be well informed with technology and information as a whole.

Our blog originally started to be a guide of different places to go in Ann Arbor. We were going to do restaraunts, cafes, music venues and more along those lines. We soon realized that we could create a much more interesting blog by blogging about events happening on campus.

Doing this allowed us to incorporate ourselves into the blog more since we talked about events that are important to us. Since Xavier and Haley are both part of the Greek system, there were a couple of blogs about things going on in the Greek community.

Our Final Product

We think this made our blog more multi-dimensional because we not only gave people things they could do every day (like different restaurants or venues), but we also gave one time events that would be of interest to students.

On April 11 put away those balance sheets and game theory charts and get out with the B schoolers to 1401 south statefor some good times with great friends.

Then to KARAOKE NIGHT @ Heildelberg

PIKE Comedy Night is a benefit comedy show featuring comedians Michael Kosta, former assistant coach of the men's tennis team at the University of Michigan, and headliner Steve Hofstetter, a comedian highly acclaimed on the college cicruit.

So get out and enjoy yourself on April 10th.

Remember how we told you about Current magazine a couple months back? Well, if you didn't take our advice and check it out, now is definitely the time to do so. This month's issue is featuring "The Best of Washtenaw County: Reader's Picks 2007 Results". This Best Of list includes the obvious, like Best New Restaruant and Best Florist, to the more outlandish, like Best Activist Group (no doubt they had a rally to get people to vote for them), and Best Head Shop.

Best of the Best

If you have been looking for a good diner where you can nurse your Saturday morning uhhh...headache, with some greasy food, check out Fleetwood Diner, voted best diner. Or if you are trying to impress that girl in class, show her how worldly you are by taking her to Dalat, voted best Korean restaraunt.

Seriously, this list has everything. And on top of that, it's in Current so you can also see what else is going on this month. So this time, instead of having us tell you what do do, find something to do on your own. We swear, it's not too hard. You won't regret it.

How Will Michigan Regain Its Competitive Advantage?" will feature several guest speakers, including: Peter Hooper, chief U.S. economist, Deutsche Bank Securities; Charles Evans, director of research and senior vice president, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago; John McElroy, WWJ News Radio auto analyst and host of Autoline Detroit; John Austin, vice president of the Michigan State Board of Education and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution; and Joel Vander Kooi, assistant treasurer of risk management, Kellogg Co.

"In order for Michigan to regain its competitive advantage, innovative thinkers and prominent leaders must come together to present solutions," said Dan Brachfeld, president of Michigan Interactive Investments and a student at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. "The Michigan Economic Forum aims to be a platform for developing new ideas and will serve as a link to the University with respect to Michigan's current economic situation."

So let's go and enjoy the event, it will be located at Biomedical Science Research Building Auditorium from 1 - 5 pm.

Dancing takes its role and action to invigorate high energy, emotional resonance, and self-expression of oneself. It is the only time one can digress from the strenuous school work and enter into a world of freedom and ingenuity. Due to its lack of restrictions, dancing to music is an involuntary process that photocopies emotions right into every ticking movement throughout your body.

This is why Dance Mix will be awesome, everyone will be a part with the dance and feel the rhythm through their body.

The Michigan daily writes a lot more on Dance Mix, click here

Come witness performances by:
GROOVE * PURE DANCE EXTREME * MICHIGAN BHANGRA TEAM * ENCORE * ELEMENT 1 * CLIMAX * DANCE 2XS * FUNKTION * IMPACT * NVR FLO * RHYTHUM * INDIGO

This nationally recognized show, the largest exhibition of prisoner art in the country, includes 300 works of art by nearly 200 artists, shedding light on the talents to be found behind prison walls and encouraging the public to take a second look.

Catch the exhibit from March 27- April 11th at the Duderstat center on North Campus. To get there on U-M transportation, take the Bursley/Baits bus or North Commuter to Pierpont Commons.

It is interesting to see the human side behind our criminal justice center. These prisoners broke the law, but they do enjoy things like fine arts like the rest of us.

Its a must see!

As we all know, philanthropy is HUGE on our campus. One event that gets a ton of people involved every year is Relay for Life is an event sponsored by the American Cancer Society that raises money for cancer research and awareness. Last year, the University of Michigan was the #2 college relay in the nation, with over 2,300 participants.

The actual relay starts on April 15th at 10 AM and goes through the night until 10 AM the next day. For those of you who haven't heard if it before, people create teams and at least one person from each team must be on the track walking at all times during the 24 hours. Each team raises a certain amount of money in order to enter, which is then donated to the American Cancer Society.

Skate For a Good Cause

Tomorrow, the 26th, Relay for Life is hosting a skate night at Yost Arena from 8-12. Admission is $3 (and an extra $2 if you need to rent skates). All proceeds go to the account of any team you choose.

Support a great cause and having fun skating with your friends.

If you are wondering, "who is this guy," here is some info I got from ums.umich.edu

Born in Iraq, Rahim AlHaj studied under the renowned Munir Bashir, considered by many to be the greatest Iraqi oud player ever. In 1991, after the first Gulf War, he was forced to leave Iraq due to his political activism.
Now living in Albuquerque, New Mexico,he delicately combines traditional Iraqi maqams (scales and chords) with contemporary styling and influences in compositions about the experience of exile from his homeland and of new beginnings in his adopted country.
He recently released a new traditional Iraqi music CD on the Smithsonian Folkways label with Lebanese percussionist Souhail Kaspar, a true virtuoso whose ability to improvise and embellish the rhythmic patterns of Arabic music have led to collaborations with Sting, the Kronos Quartet, and such Arabic superstars as Fairuz and Kadim Al Sahir.

haleymul web page haleymul@umich.edu BIT200 Now that it is finally starting to get warm outside (well...sort of), you see more places around Ann Arbor opening their outdoor areas. One of the best parts of the transition from Winter to Spring is seeing everyone outside enjoying the sun that has been away for so long.

A great place to do this is at Rendez-Vous Cafe, located in the center of South University. Upstairs where their hookah bar is located they have a great outdoor patio full of tables with umbrellas for when that sun finally does come out. This patio is the perfect place to go hang out with friends and get a hookah or even just some food. The atmopshere is so relaxed, which makes is a nice escape from the stress of studiying for finals. And lets be honest, relaxing is always much more fun when you can look down on the street and see all the stressed out people rushing to the library with their backpacks stuffed to capacity.

So do yourself a favor...take a break from studying and relax. Go to Rendez-Vous with some friends, buy a hookah and grab a table outside. Enjoy the weather. There is more to school than just class.

Check them out online and see for yourself.

raises monetary support for national and local charitable organizations through cultivating leadership, service, and community within the University of Michigan campus and the greater Ann Arbor area. Greek Week Inc. also aims to promote diversity and understanding through partnership with campus and community organizations.

There are many events the Greek Community does during this time to entertain themselves. Since a majority of people on campus are Greek, it is a big deal.

Also, it is St. Patty’s Weekend, and all I have to say is to drink safely. There are many parties happening. If you are looking for something to do Saturday, check out PIKE and FIJI. Awesome places to have fun with familiar faces. Well enjoy the weekend, and be safe.
