For the fans of Hip Hop

At the beginning of the year Talib Kweli and Madlib released an album of the financially friendly persuasion. That's right FREE, they released this album called Liberation for free on the internet for the first week of January.

Although they took the link down from their site, after a little digging I found the link, and the files are still on their server. I think you should be able to download it here.

Good Luck

Alright...

A friend of mine showed me this a few years ago, and I still have it on my computer, but thanks to YouTube, I can share it with you without e-mailing a 40meg file.

So here it is in all it's glory, a short documentary on the origins of Jungle/DNB and one of the more influential players in Hip Hop.

Check it out (it may take a minute to load)

Magnet Poetry

I went to get some milk from the fridge (even though I so rarely drink milk, but I was having chocolate chip cookies) and I got trapped doing Magnet Poetry. I actually came up with a kinda cool one and thought I would share it with you

Symphony beats

the bitter sweet music

What do you know about the Muppets?

If you ever had a question about the Muppets or knew some tiny tidbit that may not be known to the mainstream audience, and want to share it, then I suggest you check out the Muppet Wiki.

I've only recently discovered it (fortunately I have a girlfriend that is way hipper than I), but my limited use and exposure have been fruitful.

Plus it's a good resource for finding cool Muppet images (like Animal here).

Also...
on the Muppet tip
There was a good article on Caroll Spinney in the Boston Globe titled "Featherhood." Spinney is better known for his role as Big Bird or Oscar the Grouch. (I'd give you a link to the article, but now they're making you sign in, so you can check it out yourself, just search "Featherhood" on the site)

There is no longer a relationship between The Muppets and Sesame Street, nor Henson for that matter. The Muppets are now Disney and Sesame St. is The Children's Television Workshop.

Bigger than Google...

So, believe it or not, China has their own search engine, Baidu.

It really makes sense as they are one of the largest growing internet using populations, but the interface is exactly like Google's, except in Chinese.

Advertising Age had an interesting article on it, check it out.

First Post

Finally, after ages of pondering, I have set up a new blog...
and I don't have anything to talk about.
