who doesn't love a good TED Talk, Roger McNamee at TEDxSantaCruz

They didn't want to listen to the crazy old guy in 20111... But
let’s see. Tablets? Yes he was right those are huge. Periscope? Yes he was
right live streaming events are amazing. Apple can't be taken down? Well we
already knew that, but didn’t periscope start on Apple? He had a lot of good points.. Independent
success will define the future, he has
the concept!!!

Ok ok ok, he can see the matrix. I can't follow all of it as
most of us are only following the trends he is dwelled in to determine what the
trends will be.

Robert gets it. Facebook is already done and it’s great. But
you can't redo the social platform, no more than you can redo YouTube. I can
share everything on everything and even if I can't reTweet this posting or
share this on Facebook or use the RSS feed to do it for me....
We now have apps!! Apps that will circulate our postings to all of our the social sites.
I have all access to everyone’s life and vice versa, right?

So what matters the most to us now in 2015, those in business or those involved
in society as a whole. Individuality, it’s the world of me, who is talk about me,
who has seen me, and what can I get to better me. The products, company and investors
that get that are going to make the most money in the future. Don’t believe me
or the old crazy millionaire who have the majority of his stock portfolio in Facebook.

Instead let me ask you a question, have you bought a smart
watch yet... I'm looking for a new way to count steps and track my sleep any
suggestions. I heard of a Triangle based company that has designed the
technology that is being used in these products. Anybody know ???

African artist recent visit to Raleigh

In March I was invited to attend an event entitled an African Experience. When I heard it would be held at a local park I imagined a fun filled family event. Since the flyer showcased things like African attire and mentioned food. I was more than anxious to see what the agenda was for the day. I have attended many African events but they were usually traditional or family occasions. I am familiar with the food, culture and I'm a big fan of the music. So, I put on one of my new African outfits and recruited some teenagers to be volunteers for the event. Uche Nwosu and his wife We arrived to banquet style occasions celebrating an African artist who had traveled from Nigeria. I guess I missed the last word of the title "An African Experience Exhibition " It was hosted by the lovely Dr. Alycia Davis and Featured Uche Nwosu. ( say that 5 times fast) He travel here at the request of a local organization who wanted to share his artwork . His wo...

Preparing for Carib Mask 2014

I recently had the pleasure of attending a general meeting for the Raleigh Durham Afro Carribean Association. For those who don't know, this is the organization responsible for bringing Carib Mask to Raleigh. For the past two years downtown Raleigh has exploded with the sounds of Soca and Reggae music. Even if it's only for one day it's an event to remember. Ladies in extravagant feathered and sequence costumes and bands parade down the Fayetteville street route. While thousand of on looker wave flags from every island. It's just a touch of the carnival experience, here is Raleigh! So when I heard the meeting would be open to the public, I was ready to go see what this would be about. They where in fact preparing for 2014 carnival. It's registration time for everything from participating in the parade to being vendors. So if you or your organization want to be a part of this years CaribMask I have few details for you. Contact RDACA lol. Remember I said ...

Hurricane Matthew Aftermath

Its been a troubling week in America with hurricane Matthew passing through the East coast, the Election candidates being less than ideal and the ongoing discussion of police brutality. I found it particularly sobering to watch the news and see how all of our differences can be washed away. We can't help but recognize the benefits of being American, when faced with the comparison of the effects of the hurricane against our neighbors. Varying number have been reported from Haiti giving the death toll between 800-900 people. In the U.S we have had just a 10th of this number lost to flood waters. A still staggering number given consideration to the infrastructures, weather warning, and evacuations meant to protect people and avoid such casualties. Each life is precious and while we work to reconstruct homes, reopen schools, and return to our normal lives, it's my hope that we also turn down the noisy radio static of conflict within our communities. This State has renewed ...
