Easybib: An automatic bibliography composer.

Easybib is the best!
Easybib.com

This is a fantastic tool I just had to share with you. I found this little guy a few years ago while working on a writing assignment for one of my classes. I have used it a ton, and still continue to use it today.

Easybib is a great tool for composing bibliographies in real time, online. You fill out the form that asks about the source you want to cite, and voilla! It automatically saves it in your cookies so that you can continue adding to the list. When you think you have enough sources (bs ones or not), you can pick one of many options to view the list. Either online, you can print it, or download it. If you don’t need to do one of those quite yet, there is a fancy feature to save your bibliography so you can view it next time you visit the website.

I showed one of my friends this website the other day. I guess I didn’t realize how much easier this tool makes citing sources because he looked in awwwww. I thought he was going to start jumping for joy. This tool makes citing sources a hell of a lot easier and I would recommend this simple tool to anyone.

Easybib does APA and MLA formats.

A Short Biography of Chuck Klosterman

I searched high and low for any information about Klosterman’s life or any other related biographical material. The only source I could find sadly, is Wikipedia. There are really no other websites out there with any information on Chuck Klosterman.

Chuck Klosterman was born June 5, 1972 in Wilkin County, Minnesota. He was raised on a farm near Fargo, North Dakota and grew up during the rock era. He graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1994 and moved on to be a journalist in Fargo. He then moved to New York in 2002 and continued to write, except this time he became the senior writer for Spin Magazine, a magazine all about music. After the magazine was sold, he moved on to various other projects including a weeklong blog with ESPN.
