New To Pop Impulse?

Pop Impulse is organized as a Web Zine. Posts are in article format in addition to standard diary entries. Newer articles appear at the top of the page. The Blog Archive below can be used to access over 350 individual posts. I blog about music & bands, politics, pop culture, travel, web 2.0 and interesting things. That's how the posts are organized in the archive. Posts on Foreign Policy, Geopolitics and World Affairs are now appearing on The Author's newest blog, World Impulse. Catch The Author on Twitter for news updates.
