With their new Ipod Nanos, Apple decided to ditch their old form factor completely and make something super small and touchscreen.

There is a clock function on the watch, and that caused a lot of people to catch on to the idea that they can use it as a watch, given that they had a way to mount it on a wrist band. A lot of companies have been creating wrist bands so that you can wear your Nano as an article of clothing…

…which is cool if you don’t mind owning a $180 watch that is not waterproof!  When was the last time you saw a watch that wasn’t waterproof?  I wouldn’t shake the hand of a person who wears one – they probably couldn’t wash their hands very easily.

Amazing.

So last Friday, Jay Electronica was announced as the newest artist signed to Jay-Z’s label Roc Nation.  This means that Roc Nation has signed both J. Cole and Jay Electronica.  Which means, to me, that Jay-Z has the future of hip-hop in the palms of his hands.  But it also means that J. Cole and Jay Electronica are all in company with Jay Z.  Triple Js – what does it mean??

In recognition of signing Jay Electronica to the label, Jay-Z has released a track called Shiny Suit Theory featuring himself, Jay Electronica, The Dream and Charlotte Gainsbourg.  I can’t wait to hear more from Jay-Z’s new proteges.

Sorry for the lack of posts… I was in Hawaii for a week, which totally sucked.

It was a pretty awesome trip… and I didn’t tweet or blog or check Facebook the entire time.  It was actually nice that I wasn’t in ADD mode like I am here, constantly switching between working and checking social media.  I’m not really sure why we distract ourselves like that.  I really don’t NEED to be doing 50 things at once.

So now that I’m back with a new outlook on the way I’ve been doing things, I’ve decided not to obsess about tweeting or updating Facebook statuses.  An occasional update here or there would be my goal… but mostly I’d like to concentrate on experiencing life and writing about it in this blog when time permits.

I’ll be back soon to write about my experience in Oahu and some music related stuff.

Halloween was super quiet at my house this year… not a single trick or treater. Maybe Muno scared them away!

My favorite Yo Gabba Gabba character goes skating in the streets of LA… so cool!
