whipped this up after our amazing Open House at Tokyo Hacker Space. Feel free to share:
Archive for the ‘Black Web’ CategoryI’m very grateful to tech entrepreneur/mover and shaker Ed Dunn, founder of the phrase-based search engine Fooky who came on a fact-finding trip to Tokyo, got in touch with folks via Facebook and came down to Tokyo Hacker Space to talk about tech, life in Tokyo and beyond. You can see the first part of our conversation below. Head to his blog, Dream and Hustle, for parts 2 & 3.
Okay, this brought a smile to my face this morning: Now, I’m kind of not in the hiphop generation (well, maybe that’s not entirely true: there are plenty of 50+ folks who are avid listeners). I love the brilliant wordplay of people like Mos Def. And I never met a bass beat I didn’t like. But I’m in love with the fantastic Black music of the 60/70’s: Sly & the Family Stone, Earth Wind & Fire, The Temptations, Chaka Khan and Rufus, Marvin Gaye, and so on. But what I do love about all of these Black art forms is the way they mix education with enjoyment, and make it hip (or cool, or whatever words the kids are using these days;-). |
