Before I get into the actual post, I wanna call to you attention some things I just ran across. This might end up being a long post because it's two in one. The second part has been held on to for a while and I'd figured i'd just throw it out now. So......
First off, I've mentioned this before, but now it's official. By the time you read this the new X-clan should be out. Go cop that! Here is a link from Honeysoul.com (where there are other previews) or you can go straight to MP3.com and stream it or X-Clan's site. Makes no difference to me, just go.
Second, 9th Wonder is no longer with NC's own Little Brother. The group is also trying to get away from their label. Read on that here. Why does this kind of remind me of the way that Slum Village was going? I can imagine how this went down being that the group didn't seem to be getting as much spotlight as 9th Wonder's production. We'll see how the sound of the group comes out. It sounds promising with the producers they have on tap, but 9th's sound just put them out there.
Finally, the Beastie Boys AND the Wu-tang Clan are coming out with new albums. The latter with a tribute to ODB. It just don't stop and I, for one, am glad.
Now that that is out of the way, on to the post. It is music related....sort of. I dedicate it to The Mistress, Divine Lavender, and Missy. Don't ask my why, just hope no one gets offended.
P.S. I did warn you, so if you need a break, do so and come back.

Who says sex and tech don't mix. There are many examples of this, but I will just touch on these right now. Normally, I don't talk sex or toys in this spot and there is just one thing I have to say about that. It's about DAMN time I did. Hell, it's the only thing I hadn't covered around here and outside of tech, it's my favorite subject. I come across stuff all the time, but never mention them.
Anyway, ladies, do you like music? Do you like to have a little "me time" while listening to some? Sure, you can grab a rabbit, turn on the radio and have at it but why stop there? Why not have something for that night out or long trips? Yes, friends, we are talking about music (or voice) activated vibrators. Plug in your favorite music playing apparatus, then plug the device on or in to yourself and turn on all parties involved. Now, since I don't know of anyone who has tried these, nor do I know of any guinea pigs who would allow me to tape them using them test any of these out for me (well maybe I know one).
If you are looking, these are for you.
First up:
iBuzz - the music activated iPod sex toy
(UPDATE) I see there is now an IBuzz Two on the market. Now you can share. REALLY. :) And here is some video!
Next: The Audi-oh! I love that name, I tell you. Here is a description from Gizmodo.
Gizmodo - click on through.
But wait, there's more. Well, at least one more.
Last, for now, is the OhMiBod. This joint looks like a tampon, no two ways about it. The scroll wheel on the Ipod controls the vibration.
OhMiBod Music Powered Vibrator - iPod vibrator, mp3 vibrator , sex toy, vibrator ...
You know, I shouldn't even have to say much more. These items kind of speak for themselves.
Need help with a playlist? No, you don't, but here are some suggestions:
"Get it Up" by The Time
"Oops" by Tweet
"Come", "Insatiable", "Get Off" or any number of other songs by Prince
"I Touch Myself" by T-Boz or any number of people. Or, as a co-worker of mine suggested, "Start me up" by The Rolling Stones.
"How can I ease the pain" - Lisa Fischer (the high note near the end should be something.)
Actually, i'd like to see TGrundy or Grantlove hook something up for this. Now, that I think about, I probably could too. I'm sure, though, that the lucky person using these devices could come up with suitable playlist for their experience. If anyone does try any of these, PLEASE let me know! better still, give me your suggestions for songs. I really want to know what you'd use (or want someone to use).
It's the perfect gift for those who like to come on the go...without going too far.
Do you remember that night you went to the club with your people and got clowned because you saw old Aunt Ruthie in the middle of the dance floor [Insert current dance craze]? You know when you ran into that fine ass person on the way out that you saw on the way in? How you both chatted away over drinks in the deepest darkest corner of the club. You had your head down the whole time and they though it was funny. You started getting to know each other. They were looking finer and finer the more you talked. The jam came on and you got up to dance (right near the table so that you wouldn't run into Aunt Ruthie or your people). You started grindin' really close even though it was a fast song playing at the time. Then you heard 'Sexual Healing' over the sound system (when it was really playing 'Smack my Bitch up'). So you decided to invite them back to your place, you know, because it's a little less crowded and noisy. Well, that and you thought you saw Aunt Ruthie heading your way. They agree after you say, 'I don't normally do this". You creep out the club real fast, find your car, and head for some head to the crib. The night ends with some toe curling sex on your overturned couch.
You wake up in the afternoon to the phone. It's your mom asking why aren't at the family reunion that started 2 hours ago. You also look around and see that your late night conquest has flown the coop. Shit, that turned out better than you expected. You don't even remember their name. so you tell your mom you're on way, rush the shower, get dressed, and roll out. And then you get there. People are eating, most are drunk, and the music is loud kinda like last night, eh? You try not to notice that Aunt Ruthie is still in the same clothes as last and is still dancing away. Pretty spry for 82 years old, but that see through mini skirt and matching top, ick. Still embarrassing, though. You grab a plate in between hugs and finger pulls. Junebug still can't get right and you refuse to do the shufflebutt like you did when you were little. Uncle Wally still preaching but makes the best whiskey in the country. Secret ingredient, Tequila, and you always wondered what that car that sat in his yard was for. Pee Wee still smells and "Aunt" floyd is still with Uncle Jimmy. There goes Aunt Frida cheating at Spades again and arguing like she didn't to Uncle Junior. She's at the point where she's about to take her blade out cut him....again. You hold your head down and keep asking yourself why do you keep coming to these things.
Anyway, as you mumble to yourself and after Bug asks you for $5...again (He'll pay you back. He promises...again), your mom taps you on the shoulder. She wants you to say hey to cousin Jenny, the second cousin that haven't seen since you two used to bathe together as babies. You don't remember what happens next because you fainted....
Well now, in between therapy sessions, you can keep track of your whole sordid family tree with the website, Geni.com. It's free and seemingly easy to use. You just start putting in your particular info (you, mom, dad, other mom i'm not sure of) and the branches of family that you know of and keep going. You get a temp password emailed to you at the time and then when you login the first time, you can make a permanent one. You can even put in email address that can be used to invite other family members to fill in spots that you didn't seem to figure out in time. So supposedly only your family will see your tree. Granted, it is said not to be a professional tool so you won't be going all Alex Hailey all of a sudden, but it can be a cool way to start going about it. Below is a link to where I found out about it. It should be noted that the site is in beta, which means it's got miles to go before it can walk. But then again, Google has stuff that is in perpetual beta and is floating about.
Sorry, I wasn't able to tell you about it before the reunion, but you might have still not known better (or cared). Try it out still and stay away from next year's reunion. Here's an article from where I found out about it.

Bitter - Meshell N'degéocello (whole album)
It's been a long week (from last Thursday till today). I had to work 7 straight and at that, had to deal with my co-worker who just got back from a 3 week vacation. He made me sick, literally (and figuratively at times), because a couple of days in he got sick from the change of weather and passed it to me (Bastard!) Folks, if someone around you is sick and tries to hand you something and then tells you that you might want to wipe said item off because they either sneezed on or around it (and wiped their nose around it and not hands their fucking hands), they deserve their ass beat! And the fool told me this after he gave it to me. Next day (Tuesday), i'm sick. And I won't get into the slack shit he's been outside of that. Oh well, reviews come up in a few months and i'm his supervisor. I have no reason to be upset.
Anyway, it's over and i'm glad. Not much else going on except that there is a new post at my oither blog I See Stupid People. L and I hadn't really been doing too much with it and there is ALWAYS something stupid going on. Check it out, it's a crazy one.
I've noticed that some blogs have dried up recently, but at least there are a couple that hadn't let me down. I'm not calling people out because I know people get busy or don't have much to say. Me? I'm just sporadic. I could go whole weeks without a post to 2 and 3 posts a day. I'm just missing some people, that's all. Anyway, I need some sleep. I'm out.
Peace
This is for all of you American Idol fans. The next time you watch, pay attention to the background singers. There's one you should aware of (probably all of them are better than most of the clowns in front. I don't watch the show though.) Her name is Sy Smith. She's pretty much been everywhere. You can hear her song, "Welcome to Syberspace" can be heard on the beginning of the Neo Soul Cafe audio podcasts. She on Myspace, so you junkies might have run across her music or her video, "Fa Sho". She sung the title song for the show Soul Food with Al green. She's also sung on the shows Ally Mcbeal and the aforementioned American Idol. She's touring all over the place and has even performed in a recent Eric Jerome Dickey book (of which I cannot remember the name of). She's done backup for a bunch of people including Me'shell N'degeocello ("Bitter" top 10 album easily, personally). Kinda busy, she is.
She's been around for a few years now so you might have run across her work one way or another. If you haven't get to know her a little better. She's had two albums and you can probably find them around one way or another (check below or her website). She did an interview on Honeysoul.com in the middle of last year. Check that out (audio) here:
Honey Soul Music » Conversation with Sy Smith
If you like what you've heard, check out her second album "The Syberspace Social" here (and buy it, it's great):

I had to share this. It's about Angelina Jolie, but how you might be thinking about her. Now, I know what you're thinking,"Not you too". Ok, i've not talked about Angelina Jolie to anyone but my hand, so cut me some slack. You wan to fuck her to too and you know it. Anyway, the post is kind of funny to me. The blogger's name is Sam Sugar and it's his site. I'm a fan of some of his works (most notably Podnography). I'd like to see him argue a court case. He'd win on a "Boston Legal" type basis. Anyway, enjoy.

First of all, I want to say thanks to the one or two people (if that many. I hadn't been able to get my metrics) that stuck with me through my geekfest last week. I will be returning to my regular geekfest after this post. Right now, I present some of the last few notables of the stuff I'm still looking through from the coverage.
Powersquid
Good for the nest of power cables behind the stereo equipment (or in my case, the two computers I have connected in addition to) and/or home theater system you might have. Every plug has it's socket, just like sex.
LV VX9400 (i've mentioned this one before)
Not much to say about this. It's a cellphone. A sweet looking, screen flipping, TV capable cellphone. Yep, you should be able to catch [Insert show of choice] when at [Insert event] or doing [I really don't know]. Now, before you get too excited, Verizon is starting a TV service to go along with the phone (and another one) so what channels you will have depends on that, I believe.
Nokia N95 - Another cool cellphone. Looks lika a PDA. Might be as cool as the iPhone I keep seeing things about. It's not in the States yet, so holla when it it is.
I got nothing else, so you can wake up now. As I said, we now return to our regularly scheduled geekery.

As i've said, I am in the market for a cellphone. In fact, that is part of the reason that I've been geeked up more than usual for this years CES. I figure, there was going to be some new hotness that I just HAD to have or a new version of a phone that would drive down the price of the phone I want. I'm flexible. I've also said that I would like to be on Verizon, but there aren't that many phone that do want I want on the carrier. There are some, but I'd kinda like to have choice. And while sex appeal is NOT a requirement with, it would be nice. As it stands right now, Cingular in all it's merging glory is getting some nice new stuff. Verizon is getting one that might be nice, but outside of that, I hadn't seen anything yet. Which brings me to now.
Unless you've been under a rock the past couple of days, there has been one word, and it is iPhone. It's made by Apple, the Ipod people. Yea, they make computers too, for the elite (personal thought, not theirs). I don't have an Ipod and I don't use a Mac, but this iPhone thing is kinda sexy. I was going to stay away from talking about it, but that won't happen. So let's get this out of the way:
Touch screen (nice)
Stereo Bluetooth (it'd better)
Runs apple OS X (lite some say) (umm, ok)
4 or 8 GBs of storage, which means..
It's an ipod and runs itunes (boo)
GSM, so...
Cingular will carry it (boo)
480x320 screen (nummy)
Wi-fi (duh!)
(sort of) High speed cellular internet ( I don't know how fast EDGE really is)

No matter what side of the US you are on you have to had dealings with either Bellsouth or AT&T. They used to be the same company for phone service and in parts cellphone service and was broken up in 1984. The reason, they were becoming a monopoly (and not the game, either).Now they are back together again like Roberta and Donny.
FCC approves $87b AT&T + BellSouth merger: now what? - Engadget
What does this mean? For phone service, not much unless you get into Voice over IP service like Vonage (AT&T is said to have or will have one too). You can't move too many places that Ma Bell hadn't touched. Cellphones, you're still kinda screwed. If you were an AT&T wireless person when they got eaten by Cingular, say hi to and old friend. AT&T is reclaiming Cingular and changing it's name back to AT&T wireless. (the formerly known as) SBC is a part of AT&T and I believe Suncom was leasing network from AT&T. Maybe Alltel too, who knows. As far as cell service, I think that leaves Verizon as a contender and number 2 in service. Well except that Verizon was once Bell Atlantic Mobile which is a Bellsouth property.
The moral of the story for you? If you plan on changing phone services (particularly cell phone), make sure you research the company to see if you are not leaving the company you are going back to. What goes around, comes around I guess.
P.S.
I could be wrong about a couple of statements, but I will correct them upon further review.
Though I am a bit tired (just got home from work). I might say this again, but i am in the market for a cellphone. CES would partially decide what I get. I would like to be with Verizio, but Cingular is aaparently getting the hotness. To me the hotness means nothing if it doesn't do what I want it do....EVERYTHING. No, really I do want it to do a lot but it can't do everything. So i'm looking through the CES coverage, and I see stuff that some of you might want, so I will try to post it here. Part of that trouble may have been taken care of by the excellent cell phone covering site, Phonescoop.com. Click the link below to see what they found. The first page talks about the LG - VX-9400 for Verizon. You can watch TV (served up by Verizon) on it. Check out the video at the bottom of the first page, too.

Need a cordless phone? Do you use Skype (you should)? You might want this phone. It's a dual mode cordless / Skype phone. Yep, it handles regular calls and Skype (In/Out) VoIP calls. I don't know how seamless it is if you got a Skype call while in the middle of a landline call, but for $200, you'd think it'd be good. Hell, tack on voicemail and speaker phone for both sides and it might be worth it. Check it out for yourself:

I've seen the first model of this computer a while ago and I liked it then. The problem, it cost a lot and was a first generation product which mean there where issues with it (battery life and processor speed being the biggest). That may have changed with the Model 2 computer from OQO. Now you say, big deal, it's a computer. WTF? Here's the scoop. It's WAY smaller than a laptop. A little bigger than a Blackberry, Treo, or PDA, and it's a FULL FLEDGED COMPUTER! No more lugging laptops (and possibly cellphones) with this thing around. It has a failry big hard drive, full keyboard(if smallish), Bluetooth, integrated high speed internet (EVDO for those who know), pen based touch screen capabilities, and a nice looking screen for the size. You could output that screen to a bigger monitor with the HDMI or VGA ports that this thing has. You need a DVD drive, there is an optional dock to hook this up to. What more would you want, breakfast? Your lazy ass has to do something for yourself. For computing on the go, this could be it. Problem is, it's GOT to be expensive and the battery appears to still not be there, but it can run Windows Vista. Just check it out and see what you think. Feel free to buy me one if you like. I won't mind.

Induction Dynamics' SolidDrive SD1 turns your wall into an OK speaker - Engadget
I've heard about the sound induction technology behind this before. Basically, you use the surface that you are placing the "speaker" on AS the speaker. So, if you put this on a table, the table becomes the speaker. Put it on, or in, a wall that wall becomes the speaker box. If you are in an apartment, turn it around and fuck with your neighbors (kidding). It's a interesting idea but according to the article, it's kinda blah. If they can work that out, it'll be cool. Check it out anyway.

Everybody needs a chess set, right? Hell yeah! So why not have one that's USB powered? Brilliant! Just think you, yes you, can have a chess set that you can roll up and take with you to that house party you're going to this weekend. Break it out, plug it into the USB port on the computer that is SURE to be in the middle of the dance floor, set it up, and challenge any fool who dares to try to bring it you. It's perfect. Or if you want to get away from folks and have a "private" game of strip chess with that special someone (or yourself if like yourself that much. and you should) near the computer upstairs in the office, do it. The world is your oyster with this:
The roll-up USB chess set - Engadget
Personally, as the article says, if you are into chess (it's a good game), there are other easier ways to go about it. I present to you my personal choices:
Yahoo (gotta sign in), or MSN games
Let Grandmaster (not in the rap sense, but the actual sense) Maurice Ashley teach you. If you can find it, there is a pretty good CD-Rom game that can teach you. It is also by him. Not saying that I have this, mind you, but it is good.(*ahem*) So I hear.
Teach your children, too.
And Windows Vista will have it automatically when it ships, not that anyone cares. Don't ask me how I know this.

I ran across this article just now and thought it was funny, really. A rare species of penguin was found off the coast of Australia, tired after it apparently swam a long way long way from where it was. And what does it get for it's troubles? Check out the story here:

The DVD should be out shortly with a bonus scene of the threesome that you KNOW will happen. Actually, it seems like he's not complaining much... Then again, I probably wouldn't mind myself, knowing me.

I'm a little late with this. Every year around this time, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) comes around. Another event, the Macworld Expo, also comes around this time. Macworld shows off new Apple products. This is their first big show of the year. I don't have a Mac or and Ipod, but I will take a look and see what coming up. I don't cover it like I do CES. Fanboys and girls drool like I do over CES. CES is a big trade show that shows off a lot of the new and notable items, like TV's, cellphones, computers, stereos, mp3 players, Tivo and Tivo like products, and a whole bunch of other goodies that will come out during the course of the year. Pretty much every brand name you can think of is there and it pretty much marks the start of the Geek New Year. If you like gadgets and other consumer electronic items, this is the show to look forward to every year. I wish I could have been there. That's something I have been working on for the past year or two. In fact, if I had any New Year's resolutions, it would be to travel to shows like this and a couple of Jazz Festivals that I've been wanting to hit. Needless to say, I'm starting out wrong. Oh, one other note, CES happens in Vegas and also comes at the same time as a certain Porn convention. Coincidence, I think not. We all know Porn and tech go hand in hand. We wouldn't have had VHS or dad's if it wasn't for porn (it's true, sort of). Now you see another reason why I want to go. :) And you know, PART of what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
Anyway, this year's CES started Monday and goes through Thursday. And in according with this yearly event, I scour the coverage of the show from a couple of different places. That's all you really need unless there is a place specializing in video (which there is).
CNET, a site I seem to reference a lot is there in force with their coverage (it's what they do).
CES 2007
And Engadget, my favorite gadget site, is also there in full force.
Engadget CES 2007
Both places are Live blogging various press conferences where the BIG new products are being unveiled for the first time. Alot of
good lustworthy stuff comes from these places and that's where this comes in. I sift through the coverage and pick out the stuff that I'm drooling over...or just want badly. Thus, my "want list" for the start of the year. It's supposed to be comprised from stuff throughout the year, but the majority comes from CES. If fact, I see a couple of things that I plan to look into a little more thoroughly to talk about. Most you may not care, a couple of you might. It's fine either way. If '07 goes the way I think might, the content here in the blog might run all over the map anyway (and surprise a few of you). bear with me or ride with me this week. You might see something you like. From what I see right now, the word on everyone's lips is iPhone. I may give my impressions soon. It looks pretty neat, actually.
Peace.

CNET, a site I seem to reference a lot is there in force with their coverage (it's what they do).
CES 2007
And Engadget, my favorite gadget site, is also there in full force.

Both places are Live blogging various press conferences where the BIG new products are being unveiled for the first time. Alot of
good lustworthy stuff comes from these places and that's where this comes in. I sift through the coverage and pick out the stuff that I'm drooling over...or just want badly. Thus, my "want list" for the start of the year. It's supposed to be comprised from stuff throughout the year, but the majority comes from CES. If fact, I see a couple of things that I plan to look into a little more thoroughly to talk about. Most you may not care, a couple of you might. It's fine either way. If '07 goes the way I think might, the content here in the blog might run all over the map anyway (and surprise a few of you). bear with me or ride with me this week. You might see something you like. From what I see right now, the word on everyone's lips is iPhone. I may give my impressions soon. It looks pretty neat, actually.
Peace.

Last year, I wouldn't do these meme things, but I also realized that you could learn a couple of things about people from them. Well, I knew that part, but I figured I gave out what people wanted to know about me. Then that may or may not be true because no one asked for what I gave them. Then that's not entirely true because a couple of people asked about... well anyway, here we are to now. I figured i'd start this year with a couple of the memes that interested me last year. I'll probably be doing them within the next couple of posts (in between geeking out). So let's start with an easy one....
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) my MP3 player, in this case
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
Opening Credits: "No One Else" - Amel Larrieux
Waking Up: "New Doo review" - Parliament
First Day At School: "Dreamin" - Crossrhodes
Falling In Love: "Glitches(the skin you're in)" - Amel Larrieux The Roots (an odd ring of truth in that)
Fight Song: "I'm Not Afraid" - Jill Scott (Gotta giggle on that one)
Breaking Up: "Liquid Sunshine" - Parliament (what???)
Prom: "No Snakes Alive" - King Geedorah featuring Jet-Jaguar
Life is good: "R.A.P.G.A.M.E" - Viktor Vaughn featuring Manchild and Iz-Real (huh???)
Mental Breakdown: "Soul Inspiration" - Anita Baker (I love this song, too. Interesting choice)
Driving: "5th Fashion" - Little Brother
Flashback: "Bravebird" - Amel Larrieux (maybe a theme here?)
Getting Back Together: "Searchin' My Soul" - Amel Larrieux (wow)
Wedding: "Talk To Me" - Anita Baker (here's another giggler)
Birth of Child: "9 Lashes (When Michael Slaps Lucifer)" - Vast Aire (WTF?!!?)
Final Battle: "Wizard of Finance" - Parliament
Funeral Song: "My Adidas" - Run DMC (Hopefully, someone will break out the cardboard)
End Credits: "Music" - The Brand New Heavies (I would've preferred "Sex God", but beggars can't be choosy...and it would be a lie)
I hope you got something out of this. I
got a couple of laughs in. Now I have to process what this means, if
anything. I guess we'll see what the next one brings. Oh, and why is this the 1st official post of the new year when I clearly did one before this? Because I said so. :P
Peace!

I just looked in the Sunday paper yesterday thumbing through the circulars (as usual) when I saw something that I shouldn't be this excited about. Ladies and Gentlemen, MARTIN'S on DVD!! And i'm not talking about his stand up stuff. I'm talking about Martin, Gina, Pam, Tommy, Cole, Brotha Man (excuse me, Bruh man) from the fif flo, and Jerome's in the house. I said, Jerome's in the hou-ooh-ow-ooh watch ya mowf! (*ahem*) just to name a few.

Anyway, i'm excited becase I loved the show and I never thought it would come to DVD. Now, if they could just put out Real Sex, I'll be a happy man.
Season one of Martin will be on sale starting 01/02/07 (tomorrow). I think I saw it at Circuit City for $21.95. That's the cheapest i've seen yet.
We now return you to whatever was going to be posted
