“try not to be a dick” + “stay intelligently fresh” (at Denver International Airport (DEN))
Just another afternoon chillin’ at an airport bar, havin’ a beer with Hall of Famer Joe Morgan. #nbd (at The Local Pub)
Brilliant ad from Audi, pitting them against Mercedes and “new Spock vs. old Spock,” respectively.
“Goooo Bilbo!”
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Wander is a TechStars NYC grad and has just released an app called Days. I haven’t used it yet, but after hearing about their launch and reading this review, I’m intrigued and installing on iPhone as I type.
Based on this TC article, Days offers a slightly different approach to photo sharing, seemingly driven by a philosophical deviation from most photo sharing apps today.
My favorite part:
“Wander picked up on the fact that users normally snap more than one picture…to ensure…multiple options for each instance.
But Wander doesn’t want you filling up your day with a bunch of throwaways… Wander turns all photos taken within ten seconds of each other into a gif. You have the option to go in and split the gif, delete one or two pics, or leave it the same.”
Maybe you’ve heard of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. If so, it was likely due to a catchy song of theirs called Thrift Shop.
After perusing through their album, The Heist, Track #5 (video above) caught my attention. It’s powerful, and delivers an important message that is critically advanced by artists and other people with great influence and reach.
The video is equally impactful, in driving home the lyrical message - not to mention the quality and care with which it was produced.
- Welp, this album just jumped to the top of my list for 2013. Super groovy tunes.

(No streaming audio available)0 plays - So, I’ve been listening to a lot more hip-hop music lately. Not that this is something new for me - it’s been my genre of choice since I was in 6th grade, when Tupac captivated me and made me a die hard fan for life. I say, “a lot more…lately”, because my listening habits go in waves, and electronic tunes have recently been occupying my headphones a lot more than in the past. One reason for my increased attention to hip-hop is that I’ve noticed a significant number of “old school” rappers releasing new albums. One such rapper is Killer Mike. About a month ago, I picked up on the single linked above, “Reagan”. It’s an amazing commentary on American politics and sends a very strong, rebellious message - one that, IMO, is important and needed in today’s society. The album itself, entitle R.A.P Music, is full of quality tracks, all of which come together to to express a unique and concise perspective. Just this week, my appreciation for the album was heightened even further, as NPR - one of the only news/media sources that I truly respect - did a full story on Michael Santiago Render (aka, Killer Mike) and his new release. I encourage anyone to check out the interview, which touches on topics ranging from the celebration of women & raising daughters to politics to entrepreneurship & community (he owns a barbershop in ATL). YAY for rap music and R.A.P. Music! If you don’t have time to learn more, or aren’t’ interested, I’ll at least leave you with one of my favorite quotes front the album: “I don’t trust the church or the government / Democrat, Republican / pope or a bishop or them other men.”
