We look like Natural Born Killers.

FameGame posted this earlier today so I decided to post it along with what I’ve been listening to all day-

the new Jay-Z track “Death to Autotune”

“This aint politically correct, this might offend my political connects…”

Happy Saturday.

Fresh for 2009-you suckers!

Now we will count to twelve
and we will all keep still.

This one time upon the earth,
let’s not speak any language,
let’s stop for one second,
and not move our arms so much.

It would be a delicious moment,
without hurry, without locomotives,
all of us would be together
in a sudden uneasiness.

The fishermen in the cold sea
would do no harm to the whales
and the peasant gathering salt
would look at his torn hands.

Those who prepare green wars,
wars of gas, wars of fire,
victories without survivors,
would put on clean clothing
and would walk alongside their brothers
in the shade, without doing a thing.

What I want shouldn’t be confused
with final inactivity:
life alone is what matters,
I want nothing to do with death.

If we weren’t unanimous
about keeping our lives so much in motion,

if we could do nothing for once,
perhaps a great silence would
interrupt this sadness,
this never understanding ourselves
and threatening ourselves with death,
perhaps the earth is teaching us
when everything seems to be dead
and then everything is alive.

Now I will count to twelve
and you keep quiet and I’ll go.

Finally getting some work done on that exclusive hybrid, podcast-mixcd 128kilobyte listening experience I’ve been “working” on well since…last winter…lol
stay tuned!

Google is set out to kick AOL, Yahoo and MSN’s ass!
They launched Google Talk.
I havent tried it. So I really don’t know.
If you want to Send Flowers click away

Speaking of which if you want a Gmail account?
Well, you don?t need an invitation anymore.
At least, you don?t if you have SMS on your cell phone.

Click Here

Just go and put in your cell number and Google will SMS you a code for an account.

I was dissing the whole podcast phenomenon.
But this new company Pod2Mob got me hooked.
It allows you to stream podcasts to you cellphone!
This changes EVERYTHING!!

Stay Tuned

Knowing the day was going to be good, i started it off right with Sunday Brunch.
I had a giant belgian waffle with pure shagbark hickory syrup & whipped cream
with ice cream and fruit. And a few mimosas of course.

Went back home and called GRFX about the audio settings for the vocals on a track.
Easy fix that literally took 30 seconds. A lot easier than sending the whole file back and forth.
We joked about how long this process would have took 5 years ago.

Encoded it and dumped it on my Treo/MP3 player and went for a walk to listen.
The plan was to go the Brooklyn Museum for the Basquiat exhibit.

Instead I made changes to the song. Midnight Star’s “Curious” pops in my head, I download it (again), BS’ed some more and essentially just enjoyed the weather.

Someone suggested possibly going to the Nets vs. Philly game at the Meadowlands.
I don’t follow sports that much, but that was sure a game to watch.
The fact that is was ALL the way at the Meadowlands in Jersey was the deciding factor NOT to go.

I tuned in at the 3rd quarter. Vince Carter eventually got 43 points!
NJ gave a good spanking the 76′ers with the final score 108 to 83.

I finally put an end to those pesky popups on my computer for good.
Installing a cable modem and wireless router was bound to expose my computer to all kinds of stuff.
Digging further I suspected my HOSTS file might be infected.

Jonn, What it a HOSTS file?
The Hosts file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. This file is loaded into memory at startup, then Windows checks the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS.
You can use a HOSTS file to block ads, banners, cookies, web bugs, and even most hijackers. This is accomplished by blocking the Server that supplies these little gems.
In many cases this can speed the loading of web pages by not having to wait for these ads, banners, hit counters, etc. to load.

I found that in most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 kb) tends to slow down the machine.
This only occurs in W2000 and XP. My HOSTS file was like 738kb!!!

(at this point if you’re a MAC user you can gloat)

So I figure I would spare what every pain others might be facing.
Click right here to download a fresh HOSTS file. After that place it here:

Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98\ME = C:\WINDOWS

There is no need to install, turn on, or change any settings. Windows automatically looks for the existence of a HOSTS file and if found, checks the HOSTS file first for entries to the web page you just requested.

I’m still in SHOCK over the passing of Ossie Davis.
I’m glad I got to say hello to him last year at Spike Lee’s “She Hate Me” screening.
Even though Al Sharpton sat behind me and as I was leaving rn into Lynn Whitfield and Chris Rock.
I have to say I was really starstruck like DAMN, that’s Ossie Davis!
Make sure to watch the premiere of original documentary “UNSTOPPABLE: A Conversation with Melvin Van Peebles, Gordon Parks and Ossie Davis” for 8 p.m., Sunday, February 13, 2005 on Black STARZ!

There is a saying:
Less than 1% of the world population has access to internet,50% never touched a telephone.
Which is mostly TRUE than FALSE.
Moreso for even watched cable television or been to the cinema.
I bet it the same for :
Eyes on the Prize.
Hands down, THE most comprehensive and revered civil rights documentary ever made.

But it’s illegal for makers of the civil rights documentary “Eyes on the Prize” to put it on DVD or show it in public. Why???
Mainly because licensing fees for the song “Happy Birthday,” (yeah, you know THAT song) which appears in footage of a group of people singing to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I used snippets of this footage for a documentary I produced “Brown Eyed Intelligence”
Peace to Orlando Bagwell and the people over at Blackside.
Which brings me to get out the information about an online/public screening initiative.

On Febraury 8th there is a huge online initiative to screen the film in public AND several sites are making it available for download for FREE.
Get more detailed information here
It provides more information about gettiing public screenings in YOUR area.

I heard Amazon has the whole series on VHS for $1,000.
That’s crazy!

:crazy:

I just listened to Adam Curry’s “Daily Source Code” Podcast..I guess I would go to the source since he started this whole podcasting thing.
the same 1987 MTV Adam Curry. This dude is living in a castle in the UK.
Still a Mac guy and the concept needs a new name if it will catch on.
it should be something technologically agnostic and not referencing the Ipod exclusively.
“Podcasting????”
Lets call it for what IT IS. Internet Radio…downloadable no streaming…just like the olde days.
Werent we doing this in 1995 when he was still on MTV?

Whats next? Sending Email by writing with pen and paper and then scanning it in.

Even though he claims he has a Iriver and can’t figure out to do a flash firmware upgrade to save his life.
Traits of the tech savvy hurdle that most Mac users lose out on all the time.

Take a device like the Treo where most of the shows I listen to on the radio or say I miss a show on NPR.
I can stream it LIVE or I would download it without the use of a OPML or XML feed in a format of choice WMA, OGG or MP3.

Am I the only one seeing this?

Even though I coughed up flem for most of the day I found out that I’m listed under “New Music”
on ChilloutTwoNewYork.com site as well as in rotation on the station on Live365.com

In the midst of the end of the year “slowdown” wackness I been reflecting and in 2005 I’m going back to living by these phrases:

“Scared money dont make none.”
“Act like Ya know.”
“The “P” is still free”
and
“it hurts to be on the cutting edge”
