While not extremely exciting, this real time clock is fun to watch, and looks pretty dope while it’s in action.

Barack “The Magic Negro”

December 29, 2008 By: Kutty Category: Internet, Personal, Politics

Uhhh……..ummmmmmm……I could cuss right now, but I think I will hold off and let you do it!

From Gawker:

Chip Saltsman just naturally assumed handing out a minstrel song called “Barack the Magic Negro” would quickly win him enough Republican friends to become party chairman. So why is everyone so upset??

Saltsman is a big loser just like his old boss, Mike “Failuretown” Huckabee, who once made a Barack Obama joke so distasteful it couldn’t get a laugh at an NRA convention.

Saltsman has likewise completely overshot with his demagoguery, alienating a group of Republican party leaders by handing out, as part of his campaign for chairman, a CD by political satirist Paul Shankman, which includes the “Magic Negro” song.

Shankman, who is white, sings in an imitation of Al Sharpton, who in the song puts down Obama as an inauthentic sell out. The tune is supposed to be a parody, or something, of this LA Times op-ed, in which Obama is descirbed as a fantasy figure for whites, who vote for him out of guilt. Here is the stupid thing, via Wonkette:

The song is, at best, an awkward, unfunny example of political blackface, embraced by bigots who could care less about parody or academic op-eds in the LA Times.

The song already stirred up controversy months ago, when Rush Limbaugh played it over and over.

Why would someone put the tune in the vanguard of his campaign for chairman of the Republican National Committee, guaranteeing a pointless intra-party war over race? It makes no sense. Unless that person is the political wizard behind Huckabee ‘08. Chip Saltsman clearly intends to squander all hope of victory as quickly as possible before persisting in a pointless, grinding campaign that gets him nowhere.

808 and Heartbreaks.

December 24, 2008 By: Jazzy Category: Internet, Style


Thanks to a good friend’s recommendation, I was offered a job at KicksonFire.com, a member of the Complex Network. Needless to say, as a sneaker fiend, I am ecstatic, and credit my internet success to my work here on Nerdlike. If you happen to journey over to the site, check for me, I cover the Customs, Featured Members and Chicks in Kicks. If you or anyone you know makes customs, such as these doooope AF1s [a play on 808 & Heartbreaks], or happen to be a female sneakerhead that wants to get some shine, comment here or check KoF and I will get back to you.

Rotten History.

This website is pretty self explanatory, every day it displays the events that aren’t so savory that happened on that day in the past.

Sit or Squat?

December 07, 2008 By: Jazzy Category: Internet


When it comes to using the bathroom in public establishments, I can be quite the germiphobe, so I completely understand the need for such a site as Sit or Squat…however, there is still a part of me that is saying, has it really come to this? With mobile web and GPS, we can really do anything.

Sit or Squat is a website that directs you to the closest restroom and then proceeds to inform you if it is safe for you to sit, or to just go ahead and squat. It integrates well with both BlackBerrys and iPhones, making it convenient for almost everyone on-the-go. I took the chance of locating my nearest Starbucks, and checking out the toilet. 4 stars and an official sit stamp makes me feel safe again.

Google Gets Social.

December 04, 2008 By: Jazzy Category: Internet

Google has been running this little social networking program, known as Friend Connect, for a few months now, but it seem like its fully up and running today. It’s kind of hard to explain, but it basically makes everything that much more social on the web. After playing with it for about 5 minutes, it seems to have aspects of Myspace, Twitter and blog commenting all rolled up into one. Good job Google.
