It’s been over a month if use-
I’m officially announcing that I’m an Iphone user.
I moved from Blackberry for so many reasons, besides the battery life, there is much more to gain in terms of use and functionality.

Just as the blackberry served stopgap from using my computer-this just increases that gap even further.

My unit JAILBROKEN of course on the T-Mobile network-
syncing with Window XP and Ubuntu Llnux

This is my first and ONLY Apple product.

If anyone wants a heavily used and beatup Blackberry Curve 8320-let me know-LOL

Last night attended The Currencies of Social Media & Music, part of Social Media Week@ the Former Tower Records Space-now called
No Longer Empty. (fitting)

This piece of art is constructed from pieces of Rubik Cubes

Last week I attended the Supima Design Competition held at the New York Times Center on January 19, 2010

Finalists: Gina DeSilva, Nadia Ivanova, Sachika Twins (To-Tam and To-Nya), Heber Sanchez, Robin Tomas and Michael Venker.

The winning t-shirt will be appearing in Bloomingdale’s along with the current Supima collection.

The giftbags also included some nice t-shirts too!

I recently switched from Blackberry to Iphone (jailbroken of course, more on that later) and something went wrong with the Cydia app I was using to capture pics/vids.

Ran into photographer Jeffery Prehn the other night at the BoConcept Holiday Party.

He mentioned he had a photo of me that got a lot of comments on his website from the 2008 party.

This years party was a blast with great music spun by DJ Lady Bunny

I never imagined Cafe’ Bustelo Cool Cafe Con Leche and Absolut Vodka would be such a great mix and dangerous mix-lol

Follow them on twitter-@cafebustelo

The 2009 pics should be interesting as well

-Stay Tuned!

It’s been a busy week-last week before Halloween was the opening of

WHO SHOT ROCK:  A Photographic History 1955 to Present

at the Brooklyn Museum

The exhibit was great-I will have to take another trip to really take it all it in-

Here are a few pics I snapped-

The highlight of the night was a performance by Blondie and her rendition of Micheal Jackson’s “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough”

Video of Blondie performing “Call Me”

Ventured out to the Guggenheim Museum’s 50th anniversary yesterda

it was FREE! as opposed to the regular $18 ticket price, especially considering you CANNOT take any pics of the art!

Tips to all NYC museums-

1.  Offer all your programs as downloadable PDF’s-I’m going to end up tossing it in the trash before I get on the subway no matter how slick it looks.

2.   Offer a podcast of the audio tours-do you REALLY think I’m going to rent your little wack device for $7

Frank Lloyd Wright is a genius or a lunatic.

I went past the same exhibit twice from a completely different path.

I viewed  the works of Kandinsky and eyed 2 Picasso’s.

Being there wanted me to see movie The International, the scene where they try to kill Clive Owen and destroy this place with gunfire!

I then went to the The Met with @thefatapple but it was closing and there is also NO picture taking there-I will go there for a longer visit when I load the app on my blackberry that shuts off the shutter sound

I saw this pic OUTSIDE the museum which was on sale for $10 with the frame-@thefatapple said this pic of President Obama as The Joker says so many things on so many levels.

Today I was on a panel  at a conference that was held at Norfolk State University titled-

The Evolving Face of New Media:

Digital Technology’s impact on Media Careers and American Life

Panelist consisted of:

Derek Dingle, Editor-in-Chief, Black Enterprise Magazine
Brenda Andrews, Publisher, New Journal and Guide
Donald Luzzato, Editorial Page Editor, The Virginian Pilot
Kevin Ross, President, 3 BAAS media Group
Kia Hicks, Free Mind Communications,e
Barbara Ciara, Managing Editor and Anchor, WTKR-TV 3
And more (along with myself)

A great conference with great information shared and discussed!

Took a visit last Friday to the Museum Of Modern Art on W. 53rd Street in NYC-

No matter what the contents of the place and NEW renovation, it is still NOT worth the $20 admission price.

This does not include the $3+tax bottled water.

It is best to go on FREE on Fridays after 6pm  (Thank you TARGET!)

Got inspired and snapped some pics of Monet, Basquiat and more….

Last week I attended the Governors Island Art Festival and was very inspired by the work of Urban Impressionist Miguel Paredes.

I snapped a few pics-check out the rest of his work at:
