Common Speaks On His Upcoming Album ‘Nobody’s Smiling’ Produced By NO I.D. (Video)
January 8, 2014
Revolt TV talks to Common (kinda got him looking like ‘The Godfather’ off the movie in the clip above, right?) about his forthcoming project, “Nobody’s Smiling.” What started as an EP on the violence in Chicago just kept growing as he and the project’s sole producer NO I.D. kept making and adding songs, like that “War” we just posted here. The Chi-Town homies look to stop the violence in Chi-raq. Mission-based music. Very refreshing!

3rd Bass’ MC Serch Launches His New Day-Time Talk Show (Video)
January 8, 2014
Whew! It’s official. The last blip on MC Serch’s timeline will NOT be hosting the ‘White Rapper’ show. Dude has a talk show. Yeah, really. Watch the “Need a Parent, Not a Player” episode above.
(I know ’90s era 3rd Bass fans were hoping that Don Newkirk would do his thing as announcer, like on “Gas Face,” and bring Serch out each show but nah.)

Lyric Jones – “Tired” (Prod. By Thelonius Dre) [Video]
January 7, 2014
How do you make me a slave to “I love you’s” and “sorry’s”?
– Lyric Jones
Lover’s lament brought to motion picture reality by the Lyric Jones. Sultry as she and her delivery are on this one, you’ll likely experience more of her pains than pleasures (on the whole). And that’s the point. A little bit of pleasure for a whole lot of pain… how long will she remain in that situation? Watch. Relate. Great video for “Tired” (produced by Andre “Thelonius Dre” Parham) – the latest music release off the upcoming project “Love’s Trail Mix EP” (due out early 2014).
Get the FREE download of the Lyric Jones single “Tired” right here.

We are getting that much closer to getting affordable healthcare (e.g. preventative medicine) driven by extraordinary technical advances. A quarter-million dollar grant and Nanobiosym is field testing in Rwanda – where low-cost, fast effective medical approaches are really needed. Bravo, Dr. Goel! And just wait ’til Nanobiosym gets Gene-Radar down to smartphone size. Doc-in-a-box equipment ready to deploy overnight ship anywhere anytime!

Technology: Technical Illusions’ castAR Augmented Reality Glasses (Video)
December 31, 2013
Not just Virtual Reality (VR) but Augmented Reality (AR) Glasses. See, with VR, everything is virtual – part of the interface, not real (e.g. the ‘reality’ is created). However, AR can include physical objects as part of its interface and wearers’ interactions (e.g. the interface includes real things you can touch). I can see gaming applications for this. Sure. Imagine your friends traveling out to your house, excited about the ‘boom boom room’ you’re adding to your home…next year! Yeah, I can see AR glasses “completing” the construction virtually. And, of course, there will be military applications (but I’m not ranting on that over the holidays… nope… keeping it ‘holiday cheery’ man).
So, check this out. The folks at the Tested channel put on Technical Illusions’ castAR glasses at Maker Faire 2013. Watch the clips and chats above, with founders Jeri Ellsworth and Rick Johnson.

December 31, 2013
Hahahaaaa! Yooo. We clown so-called reality TV shows. But most are admitting that they are not totally real. ‘Scripted reality’ is the term coined. But can we apply such to the news… which is supposed to be real? Conan O’Brien thinks so; and he offers proof!
