Raleighwood representing. Jay-Z politics (dirt off shoulders). I found this first video over at hiphopremix.com. Then I just assumed that 99 problems would be on youtube. It is funny where hip hop can be found.

I am friends with one of the guys that runs this company. They have great designs with mad quality. If you are looking for something fresh check out Fysh Clothing. Here is a bit about the company. Shop is now open with the new line.
“FYSH Clothing Co. is an underground brand in every sense of the word. Built on the back of it’s four creators we have so far made a small impact in the online community of streetwear. Our daily lives and interests in combination with nautica overtones provide FYSH with an interesting take on clothing. We strive to bring our customers a simplistic style with small bits of flare.”

I saw this video over at livingoffdividends. It does an amazing job of explaining what happened with the housing situation we are in now. The last 5 minutes of the video are great. The video explains how hedge fund managers made hand over fist loot and how the market is just getting prime again with the falling interest rates and housing prices for them to start making more money.

How much are you putting into your new A380? Does it have room for 600, a hot tub, dining room w/ marbled up walls and seating for 14, a gym and a couple luxury suites? Just to add insult to injury, there will also be a movie theatre room, and the plane will be painted in gold leaf. Gold leaf doesn’t mean cheap, that is pushing $50 mil on it’s on.
People are aiming for crazy things for these huge planes. Another idea for a few of these planes is to have them as casinos. China is growing as a gambling hotspot and it is rumored a few of these planes have been ordered to be used as casinos.

I have been under the gun since around the first of the year to get a release out today. I still have three hours to get it done by today. It is midnight here, but the drop hits another part. I should be a bit better off once this gets out. Next major release is a bit further out. I will then be able to concentrate on things that have been in the back of my mind for a while now. So basically I am almost able to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Well it is tax time. This used to be a fun time for me, when I was not making any money and strolling through college. I would get everything back and be set for a few months. Now it is a different story, I have to try and find all the methods I can to not have to pay everything I own. There are two things that I found were helpful this year. I am not an accountant nor a lawyer so this advice will be “at your own risk” per se. Check with your tax crew, I just blog for fun 
“Generally, if you exchange business or investment property solely for business or investment property of a like-kind, no gain or loss is recognized under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. If, as part of the exchange, you also receive other (not like-kind) property or money, gain is recognized to the extent of the other property and money received, but a loss is not recognized.
Section 1031 does not apply to exchanges of inventory, stocks, bonds, notes, other securities or evidence of indebtedness, or certain other assets.” Read the rest of this entry »

I was able to get some one-on-one time with the Microsoft Surface while in New York. It was very impressive. The sample applications seem well written. The possibilities also seem endless. The demo of the device was the same you get on youtube. You get basic information about what the table does. The questions I walked away with revolved around the development studio and api for the device. How much did I control and how quickly could I develop the device. I did not really get a feel for that. I also thought there was room for improvement on the sensitivity of the area of the touch.
The touch area appeared to not have any detail on the impression that it recieves from the touch. When using a paint brush with 100 bristles you see a big blob that encompasses an area close to what the brush looks like. It would be nice to see the strokes of a brush in more detail. I am not sure if software can tighten up on that. I am also not sure if it was pressure sensitive. On the other hand one of the great features and differences in the ipod products is that it allows more than 52 touches at a time.
This is a parody video for the mac lovers. There are plenty of other videos with the surface demos.

Quick trip. Will update this tonight or tomorrow but New York… I came up in comfortable clothing, with the plan to change for all of my meetings once I got settled. Lost luggage. I was able to grab a steak though at Peter Luger’s Steakhouse. I was able to hit up 5 bars, watch some football, visit time square, etc… Anyhow,
