Showers now subside

Warm sand and skies embrace me

Prelude to Summer

Jhene Aiko Mixtape- Sailing Souls

Beautiful songstress Jhene Aiko dropped her mixtape entitled Sailing Souls on her birthday March 16th. For those who aren't familiar with Jhene, she may be recognized from the B2K era, being featured in their videos; as well as having her own song and video for the 2001 hit No L.O.V.E, while being part of the then popular T.U.G Ent. Since then she has had underground hits such as Wait No More and the summer hit July featuring rapper Drake.

This mixtape showcases her smooth melodic voice as well as her laid back "hippie" style, in these r&b and neo-soul reminiscent tunes. Tracks such as H.O.E. featuring singer Miguel showcase her now grown up demeanor, much different from her former teenie songs.

Overall, Sailing Souls showcases Jhene's pure talent through this independent project. Having features from artists such as Drake and Kanye is sure to draw attention and produce more mainstream exposure for the singer; though her die hard fans will agree that whatever she produces is gold.

The McLobster: Coming to a Drive Thru Near You?

Today Twitter was flooded with news and discussions about this mystery sandwich known as the McLobster coming to American McDonald's restaurants. Immediately upon hearing the name of the sandwich it made me scrunch my face up. Lobster...at McDonalds, just didn't sound like a good idea. How would they be able to serve lobster at a reasonable price without cutting corners on quality, so I figured it must be some substitute meat like the infamous KRAB with a K.

There were people going back and forth about whether or not this was a hoax or rumor about the sandwich being real so I did a little research. Apparently the sandwich DOES exist, is made with authentic lobster meat and has been available for a number of years in New England and Atlantic areas of Canada, where lobster roll sandwiches are already typically served.

The origin of this rumor about it being tested in select cities for national distribution has so far been determined to be false.

The one up side I can see for this sandwich not being available is the fact that after searching the Internet for photos of the McLobster, I couldnt find a single one that looked appetizing. So far every picture Ive seen has looked like, for lack of a better word "Throw Up On A Bun" eww

Back to the drawing board Ronald

A Day Made of Glass: Our Fututre?

So I decided to switch it up and start having some different content on my blog. There is a ton more that I am interested in. Did you guys know I've always been some what of a sci-fi buff? I have always enjoys movies that showed glimpses of the future, not far fetched notions like The Jetsons but the likes of I Robot and Surrogates. These films seems feasible as a possible advance.

I came across this clip of a possible near future society dominated by touch screen applications. Upon watching this clip I found many of the applications possible, such as the touch screen 3-D TV being that there are models by Panasonic emerging now. Many of the tools shown remind me of variations of the now popular I-Phone and I-Pad, more technologically advanced and the Kindle that's now a popular alternative to paper books.

What really appealed to me was the networking and business capabilities, being that I am going to be in a fast paced field I appreciate the quick communication, display options and overall ease that it provided the people to conduct their meeting via webcam.

Watching the clips, although amazed by the advancement I did wonder were some of them practical, such as the bus stop and highway signs that had LCD screens. The LCD billboards were reminiscent of those in Times Square and Tokyo.

Overall this piece demonstrated the power of innovative thinking, for the I-Phone was once just a notion and now one of the most popular pieces of technology. The clip stated at the beginning that this was in the "near" future, I hope that I will be able to witness an utilize theses tools in my career.

Idol Eye Candy DeAndre Brackensick

Now, like a lot of people, i enjoy watching the audition episodes of American Idol, always good for a laugh. Through as the competition moves on I usually lose interest and stop watching. I just so happen to catch the episode last night which was the group week episode, there was a lot of drama going on so i decided to sit and watch lol. When the segment came on about the group of mothers who sat front row judging the contestants and who were smack talking about how their kids were much better I just HAD to see what their kids could do if they really were all that.

Well the group of teens performed and did an excellent job, i really liked the second girl who sang and the song melody and such, when suddenly the screen flashed to the cutest face Ive sen in a while. He was so cute he hit an incredible high note when he was singing, I became a fan insatnly lol.

His name is DeAndre Brackensickm he's 16 from San Jose, California. Being that I wasn't really into the show I didn't catch his audition, maybe I can YouTube it. I think he's very talented and stood out among his group mates, i hope he goes far in the competition, I can see him being the next CB or someone on that level. Least now I have a reason to tune in to Idol. Geesh if only he wasn't so young lol
