Technology: Chip Could Enable Smartphones to See Through Objects
February 20, 2013
Ali Hajimiri, a professor of electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology, has created a chip capable of producing terahertz waves—radiation (or T-rays) that can penetrate materials such as plastic and wood without the side effects associated with X-rays. So far, T-rays have been used mostly in experiments in medical and dental imaging. But Hajimiri, working with postdoctoral researcher Kaushik Sengupta, got thousands of tiny transistors to operate in concert, producing T-rays from a smaller machine. When connected with a computer or mobile device, the 0.1 inch-wide silicon chip technology could help doctors locate skin cancer noninvasively, speed up passenger scans at airport security lines, scan suspicious packages at the post office, or find art hidden behind painted walls.
Aww, not quite what you were expecting? C’mon though. It’s still pretty cool tech, right?

An enlightening interview about Wu-Tang’s Ghostface.

Tom and Jerry? Perfect example. Of all the answers… Tom and Jerry?

Emcee Logic – “The Power” (EP)
February 19, 2013
Everybody releasing Hip-Hop nowadays has a movement, right? How about music with a mission? Probably heard that, too; but not like this: A 100% clean (e.g. radio-playable) Hip-Hop project – “The Power” – from Emcee Logic dedicated to service of humanity and philanthropy in its purest form! Leading by example, Emcee Logic uses his EP, and his personal finances, everyone how everyman (and woman) philanthropy through Hip-Hop music is done. In his message at the FREE download page, Logic does not ask you for a penny. Rather, he asks that you put your time and money toward causes/service that better humanity:
‘It is ENCOURAGED that for every download of “The Power” you, the listener dedicate a little bit of your time and or money to the service of the many of us all around the world in need. Share the music and donate to a charity or cause of your choice. Lets make a difference out here Hiphop! I took it upon myself to personally buy school supplies for local public schools in need in my area. Get out here and do your part! Special thanks to Absolute and Backdraft [a go-to producer for the homie SkyBlew] for their production on the record.’

Remember When Chuck D Performed in Omaha? No, You Don’t (Video)
February 19, 2013
Chuck D sits down in front of an audience of superfans as part of Monie Love’s ‘Ladies First’ on SiriusXM Backspin. In the clip above, he drops a megaton bomb: about the hot show in Omaha (Nebraska, USA) where the crowd was thrilled to see PE (Public Enemy) wreck the stage. But the dude they thought was Chuck D… was NOT Chuck… it was Brother Mike (one of the S1W).
‘…and to my rescue, it was a S1W!’ Chuck D’s verse came to life that day, for real. Check it out!

2013 NBA Slam Dunk Contest (Video)
February 17, 2013
Here in Houston during the 2013 NBA All-Star festivities you can get a sense that people still look forward to the NBA’s annual Slam Dunk Contest. The vibe was one in which many people were hoping Lebron James decided to get into it, but that would not be the case as he & several other stars who are more than capable played the sidelines. The Toronto Raptors’ Terrence Ross took the crown this year, but the NBA needs to provide more of a REAL incentive for the league’s biggest stars to get involved in the long run for this event to thrive.

Common On ESPN’s First Take During NBA All-Star Weekend (Video)
February 16, 2013
I’m here in Houston, Texas for all of the NBA All-Star weekend activities & one of the primary things I didn’t want to miss was ESPN’s First Take doing a live taping on Friday morning in Houston. Needless to say, due to schedule conflicts, I didn’t make it in the building but it sure looked like fun as Common was the special guest on the show. In this special edition that aired live Common debated with Skip Bayless & Stephen A. Smith on everything from playing in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and those annoying arguments about who would win in a game of one-on-one between LeBron James or Michael Jordan.
Update: Behind-The-Scenes Footage Added Below
