Politics/Comedy: Jon Stewart Calls Bullsh** on Paul Ryan’s Budget Plan (Video)
October 19, 2012
Trust them. Republican candidates for U.S. President and Vice President, former Governor Mitt Romney and Representative Paul Ryan, have a budget plan. What’s that? You want details and numbers? Come on, we don’t have time for them to explain his numbers. Just trust that Mr. Ryan has run them, and they are sound. Sound good?
Well, on The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart more than implied that that sounds… smells… like BULL-to-the-SHI… er… MALARKEY (as Vice President Joe Biden said)! Do you, American citizen, trust – without any disclosure or independent review of the numbers – that the Romney/Ryan budget will do all that they promise? DON’T! Take a lesson from history… and the video above.
(Oh, and by the way, ‘that guy’ did win. Watch the video.)

CyHi The Prynce – “James Harden” Freestyle
October 19, 2012
That beat is NICE!
Okay. Underrated at first; now first off the bench with with a premier squad, CyHi The Prynce could be considered the “James Harden” of his team – G.O.O.D. Music. Drafted third overall in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder sixth man Harden is a fitting metaphor for CyHi at this point in his career. He “might not be the richest” but he definitely “ain’t starving.” More than that, emcees that come at CyHi weak can end up getting straight embarrassed in this game called Hip-Hop! Stream the Harden-inspired freestyle here.

https://twitter.com/50cent/status/258776330089414656
“You’re only as relevant as your record!” Damn right, 50. And he’s been putting out some heaters recently, by the way. So, 50’s taking some well-deserved time off to play around at Fox… or is he. Nah! Dude is staying relevant…maybe even “auditioning” for a spot on the network. Might be having fun, but it’s not a game. A’ight then, 50.

Comedy: Stephen Colbert Gets Deep Into ‘Vagina’ (Video)
October 18, 2012
Okay, that title doesn’t read right. See, Naomi Wolf has this vagina… I mean she has this book… “Vagina”… and Naomi Wolf’s “Vagina” is good! And she talks with Stephen Colbert, who gets into it with her (deep). The book… It explores low sexual desire among women, anatomy of the vagina, and America’s outdated views on sex. Good video. As good as “Vagina”… the book.
(Oookaaayy, the views expressed in this post are mine… yada yada yada. Hahahaaaa! Don’t want y’all pinning my perversion on JayForce.)

Technology: Five Everyday Gadgets Inspired by Sci-Fi (Video)
October 18, 2012
Y’all KNOW by now that I am a Trekkie; so at least one of the five things shared in this post shouldn’t surprise you. Respect to Joel Willans at Conversations by Nokia for the cool discussion that inspired this post.
Gadget 1: LASER
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, or LASER technology, is so commonplace in its use today it may be hard to remember that it was once a super-futuristic fictional concept. So, how far back does laser-talk go? Well, science fiction literature from as early as 1898 talks of a “heat ray” that is easily understood to be the forerunner of today’s tech borne of developmental research from the 1960s.
Gadget 2: Satellites
Gadget 3: Tablet Computers
Gadget 4: Debit Cards
Gadget 5: Smartphone
Hey, you knew this one was coming. Heck, you may even be reading this post on a smartphone via the JayForce.com mobile app (obvious plug, no shame)! Already admitting to patterning the now passe flip phone after the communicator on the 1960s science fiction TV series “Star Trek,” Nokia and other companies have put out mobile phones with mapping locator tech that lets the holder and others know their exact location. See the video clip above: Looks like sci-fi suggested how crucial a mobile locator function could be (for last second emergency beam-up) way back when, right?
Technology rules, baby! Kirk out.

Technology: U.S. Military Considering a Pokémon Inspired Gun? (Video)
October 17, 2012
CAUTION: The YouTube post said some “kids went into seizures” upon viewing this Pokémon cartoon episode.
Shout to Heather Fairchild over at AtlantaCareerPath.com for the initial scoop on this.
According to documents acquired by Wired.com, through a private U.S. citizen’s Freedom of Information Act request, the U.S. Army kicked around the idea of disabling enemy combatants with blasts of electromagnetic energy. Amazingly, the idea inspired by a Pokémon cartoon episode (see excerpt above). Here is a passage on the proposed nonlethal weapon technology:
Wowwww. Talk about high-tech warfare!

The XX – “Chained” (Video)
October 16, 2012
The above music video is… beautiful. The words that follow describe it beautifully. Read… and watch!
‘Establishing themselves as purveyors of good music transcending genre, [The xx] toured the world creating fans in its every corner, each show building a larger audience to eagerly anticipate their next release. Three years after their debut, the follow up finally dropped last month. Coexist, the sophomore release from The xx, strips down their sound even further, getting to the essence of what makes their music so affective and relatable.
“Chained,†the second single off the album, embodies this reduction perfectly, with all the somber intensity that is distinctly xx and nothing more.
In conjunction with The Creators Project, bringing this lament to life is LA video production crew Young Replicant… Applying their abstract narrative style to “Chained,†the team brought to life a story conceived by The xx’s Romy Madley Croft that takes place underwater. With the same simplicity of their music, each of the band members plays a part within this setting. As Croft describes it, “No vignettes, just three individual journeys.‒
– Abdullah Saeed, The Creators Project
