History: The REAL Django – Dangerfield Newby
January 22, 2013
Here’s a little story I’d like to tell…
Dangerfield Newby [pictured above], a strong, 6’2″ African American, was the first of Brown’s men to die in the fighting. Born a slave in 1815 but later freed by his white, Scottish father, Newby married a slave who was still in bondage in Virginia.’
A letter found on his dead body revealed Newby’s motive for joining Brown’s brigade: It was from his beloved wife, a desperate plea for her husband to buy her freedom as soon as possible.
Seem like a familiar story?
DJANGO UNCHAINED (MOVIE TRAILER)
Sadly, Newby’s widow was sold after the raid and moved farther south.

Technology: Slithering Snakes You’d Be Happy To See (Video)
January 22, 2013
Howie Choset, professor of robotics at Carnegie Mellon University, has some snakes he’s named Uncle Sam, Betsy Ross, Pepperoni, and Monster Max. His snakes never cease to amaze him; as they climb poles, cross ponds, and burrow into tight places.
And he doesn’t even like snakes like that.
Choset’s snakes are better described (in Businessweek) as ‘snake bots.’ The reptilian bots consist of constructed joints with tiny motors, allowing them to move like real snakes – borrowing, side-winding, and the like. Why has he spent years doing this? Well, his snake bots, though still a way from commercial launch, have probed the human heart; and others in design ‘could be used in search and rescue after earthquakes and that slither along pipes at power plants to detect cracks and leaks that could cause accidents.’
Please. Oh please… could we… maybe get these ‘snakes’ on a plane? Yeah, you might groan; but not such a bad idea is it?

Lupe Fiasco Disses Obama & Kicked Off Stage at Inauguration Day Event (Video)
January 22, 2013
Okay… that happened. Never one to bite his tongue, above is video of the shot [at President Barack Obama at an Inauguration concert event] heard around the world [and the Internet] taken by Lupe Fisaco. Here below, the words of the Fiasco (pun intended):
Yep. That’ll get you kicked off the stage at an Obama Inauguration event… every time. Reports are that Lupe spent nearly half an hour on one song without moving on during the show, too. That wouldn’t help things either.
Right to free speech exercised… with consequences. Wonder if he got his bread?

Technology: Qualcomm’s Paul Jacobs Sees a Bright Future for Smartphones (Video)
January 21, 2013
Qualcomm was the chip company smart enough to put Internet protocols into cell phones right around the time the ‘Net was becoming accessible to the general public (early 1990s). The guy at the helm of a company that demonstrates such foresight is someone to whom we should listen, right?
Well, whether or not you do, I am listening to what Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs has to say:
‘There are a lot of opportunities… Obviously, the smartphone trend is going to continue… There will be 5 billion smartphones sold between now and 2016.’
– Paul Jacobs
5 billion!! Did y’all get that? Now, what would smart folks in media (radio, TV, performing artists, promoters, bloggers, etc.) be looking to do in light of such a tip from such an authority as Jacobs? I dunno.
(Yeah, I do. Look left. You can download the JayForce mobile app… to interact with this site via phone… to listen to Beatz & Lyrics with JayForce via phone… you… do get it, right?)
So, just how far can this mobile trend take us? Possibilities for business are obvious; but what about for humanity. Check it:
‘Let me tell you something that’s pretty cool. There’s a researcher we’re working with who has an idea to put a tiny chip inside your bloodstream … and it’ll maybe lodge in your wrist and look for certain indicators that in two weeks you might have a heart attack. Can you imagine that? So your phone will ring and tell you to go to your doctor. That’s in the lab right now. People are working on that now.’
