The Cockroach Papers

I am getting a kick out of the book cover.

Jay-Z vs. Elvis

Cookin’ Soul’s new remix: “Billboard Gangsters.” The a cappella version of Jay-Z’s American Gangster has dropped. Keep your ears out for great remixes. Damn, where is my copy of Danger Mouse’s Grey Album?

My man HML brings back the timeless memories:

I wish to find once more those days of old,
The moon rising to the top of the areca palms,
By the storm lamp mother sat sewing,
While father read his daily paper.
The streets were deserted,
And in the dry stillness of the night,
I could hear the faint whistle of the train.

Usability is Not a Verb

Scott Berkun:

The talkers, the report writers, the complainers, the finger pointers, those are the people to avoid: they’ll be doing those things forever. It’s people comfortable with the positive verbs, doing, asking, learning, risking, reaching, who make change, if it’s going to happen at all, possible.

Like they say: Action speaks louder than words.

Pimp C is Dead

Pimp C, real name Chad Butler — and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33.

What a tragedy.

Takeover

TBrown:

25 sites in 5 years? I can divide.
That’s one every, let’s say 2.4 (months),
half of them sh*ts was due.
They were all Illmatic.
That’s a 50 hot website every 10 year average.

Thanks for a good laugh.

Friending, Ancient or Otherwise

Alex Wright:

The more time we spend “talking” online, the less time we spend, well, talking. And as we stretch the definition of a friend to encompass people we may never actually meet, will the strength of our real-world friendships grow diluted as we immerse ourselves in a lattice of hyperlinked “friends”?
