This is what I’m talking about

Not up on Finale (the cat in the jeans) really, and not sure if I love the song that you get when completing the game, but I LOVE this idea as a promotional tool. Ah, the internet; we sip you like fine wine.

Kid Cudi, I see you

Sad fact: I’m late to the party, just becoming familiar with this cat. Ah well. This video is serious business. @5OH7 (twitter) put me in indirectly, tho they probably don’t know it.

Snowboarding?

Qa'id — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:05:34 +0000

So … I’m a brother. Aaaaaaaand I snowboard. There might be one or two other things that I do that are kind of rare within brotherhood, but snowboarding definitely ranks highly up in that mix. It’s all very strange. Like most brown skinned folks I know, I hate the cold. I mean, I hate the [...]

Thank Baud For internet Radio

Qa'id — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:45:33 +0000

On a typical day I end up listening to a bunch of different things: Talk Radio (like WNYC, WBAI, KCRW) Beats, beats, and more beats The annoying whining of clients (JUST KIDDING to all my lovely clients, whose love, concern, and attention to deadlines I would not be willing to live without) Most significantly are the Beats, the [...]

Protect Your Business with the 80’s

The past few times I’ve handed out businesscards (which tend to be custom made, spray mount unique treats!) I’ve noticed people noticing my card carrier, which is a repurposed, plastic cassette case. You need one too. Here’s the quick, low-fi tutorial on how to rock it.

Newness a/k/a Pieces of A Man

They say it can say a thousand words. But really, there’s probably no limit to what any one picture can say. The picture above, for example, says many things to me. It’s a photo of a part of my working space - right in front of one of the monitors. That monitor and [...]

Reach Back for the Forward Step

This One’s For the Hot Steppahs Delving a little bit further into the Last.fm community, I followed a path from Pursuit Grooves (through the wilds of myspace -yikes) that led to the Coopr8 crew of folks. CoOp is London party / venue where they make it a point to play only the right tunes. This is [...]

MUSIC TO CREATE BY [DECEMBER 07]

Qa'id — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 07:00:54 +0000

Sometimes you just need to deviate. Credit where it’s due: I first heard LITTLE DRAGON on the Soulsearching radio show (Michael Ruetten). And since then on both the Deviations radio show (Benji B) and Worldwide (Gilles Peterson). The luscious voice you hear in these Little Dragon tunes is that of the remarkable Yukimi Nagano. She and the [...]

Telescoping Hipster GTD Catch Pad Combo

Qa'id — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 08:52:52 +0000

More than a year ago, in an attempt to wrangle in all the paper in my life along with the great ideas I think I have constantly marauding around in my mind, and to prepare myself for self-employment, I got into a strong productivity kick. There are many systems to do so, the one [...]

Want more dreams? Nix the alarm clock

Qa'id — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 14:33:49 +0000

I’ve been learning mass amount of lessons as I quest into freelancedom. Some I’ve had a harder time at internalizing. For example, a loaf of bread will eventually mold in the refrigerator (I know, shocked me too!); or when you want something sweet to eat, but don’t want to spend money on fancy deserts with [...]
