New YouTube Account, Kobo eReader Review, Other News...

Hey what's up! Great weekend for me, hope yours was great too!

Couple of interesting things to report this week:

As an avid reader, it was an honor to receive a request from Pure Textuality (a book review and literary news blog) to write a review for the Kobo eReader!  You can find the review here.

Thanks again PT! (Now, if only I could get my hands on that new Amazon Kindle Fire!)

Oh, and I also started a brand new YouTube channel this weekend.  I kind of had to do this, because my old one was linked to my old company, Red Zone Records (which no longer exists).  On top of that, it was geared toward me as a recording artist.  That was really messing with my search results, since nowadays I'm mainly a DJ/producer.

Please check out my brand new YouTube channel, when you get a chance!  And subscribe!  I promise to keep the content entertaining for you over there.  I'll be posting video remixes, party and event vids, and more!

I've also been getting a lot of requests from artists to make some of my beats available on line.  So sometime in the near future, I'm going to do some serious work on my Soundclick page.

I'm also gonna be posting some hip-hop and club beat loops on Numark's Mixcloud page real soon!  I'll make an announcement when those are ready to go!  (Thanks Simon Bangs!)

Okay, that's it for now!  Holla at ya boi!

iPhone 4S, And New iPod Lineup

Today, Apple announced the newest iPhone, the 4S. Specs look sweet. (I won't upgrade though, I'm happy with my iPhone 4, for now.)

They also announced the new iPod lineup, including an updated iPod Touch and Nano. (I like what they did with the Nano, especially the price drop!)

Full coverage of today's Apple event is right here (courtesy of Wired.com):


I definitely think I want one of those new Nanos for my workout sessions!

Facebook is NOT about to start charging!!!

Okay, so we've all seen this message a billion times by now:

“FACEBOOK JUST RELEASED THEIR PRICE GRID FOR MEMBERSHIP. $9.99 PER MONTH FOR GOLD MEMBER SERVICES, $6.99 PER MONTH FOR SILVER MEMBER SERVICES, $3.99 PER MONTH FOR BRONZE MEMBER SERVICES, FREE IF YOU COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WHEN YOU SIGN ON TOMORROW MORNING YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT INFO…IT IS OFFICIAL IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES”

And this one:

“THIS IS OFFICIAL… IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS… FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES… IF YOU COPY THIS ON YOUR WALL YOUR ICON WILL TURN BLUE AND FACEBOOK WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON, IF NOT YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED IF YOU DO NOT PAY!!”

I can't believe how gullible grown folks can be for believing and (re-posting) this.  It's total bullshit.  Facebook will never charge you for using it, because that would kill the money it gets from ad dollars.

CNN put it best:

"To oversimplify the situation, you aren't Facebook's customer. You're its product. The site's business model is based on advertising and it wants as many users as possible to dangle in front of the click-hungry advertisers.
Charging for Facebook would inevitably decrease the number of users. And that would decrease advertising revenue. It's not going to happen."

Get it? Facebook not going to start charging.  It's free, and it always will be, even with all the new changes.

Okay, everybody take a deep breath and relax!!!

Holla at ya boi!
