My meeting w/ Ice T & Coco:
So i was out with some friends for dinner @ Cafeteria on 17/th & 7th and around 1am Ice T, Coco, and a female friend roll in. As soon as i spot them im thinking about steppin up and giving him some props. Normally ‘celebs’ arent that interesting to me and interrupting somebody famous is corny as hell, down right rude even. But Ice T is different, a legend. I had to say something...

Debbie’s posts generally rule. Here’s a taste:
I was just about to write a post about how I haven’t watched television for years —
…….And I was going to say that I’m addicted to watching Conference Videos (probably for the same reason I read non-fiction) —
…….And then I was going to say that if you’re anything like me, you must check out…

Why iPhone doesnt need to beat Android
Apple didnt need to have a gigantic share of the PC market in order to be successful and they dont need to be the overall market leader in smart phones in order to succeed.
Google’s Android OS is open source and available to handset makers at no cost. This approach is betting that with a huge market share Google can reap the benefits of massive search volume and the ad revenue associated...

How Much Do We Really Know in the "We're All...
I know the story behind this and its deplorable. This kind of behavior represents and perpetuates the primary issue that plagues our business: everybody thinks they’re a social media guru/maven/specialist.
Seriously, enough is enough. It’s time for professionalism and accountability to reign supreme.

Consumer
“Something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It’s covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth… no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the...

Latest Read: The Lost City of Z →
The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon was an amazing read that gripped me from the moment i picked it up. I cant recommend it highly enough if you are remotely interested in true stories of adventure and mystery.
This tale has gripped explorers for the better part of 500 years and with Fawcett’s disappearance in 1925 speculation as to his fate ranged from starvation...

Freedom Traded for Security Yet...
If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a...

culturite:
“When you think of Canada, which qualities come to mind? The world’s peacekeeper, the friendly nation, a liberal counterweight to the harsher pieties of its southern neighbour, decent, civilised, fair, well-governed? Think again. This country’s government is now behaving with all the sophistication of a chimpanzee’s tea party. So amazingly destructive has Canada become, and so...
