Qbert has become a sort of ambassador for the turntable. He has gained great respect both for his spectacular skills (including numerous scratch inventions) and for his work to help the turntable community. Along with Mix Master Mike, he was inducted into the DMC DJ Hall of Fame in 1998 and continues to create and perform at a high level.

Should be a good time..

Bomb$hell Beauty Of The Month

I present miss December Bomb$hell Beauty of the month as an early Christmas gift from me to all our viewers. Leticia Cline can be naughty or nice and is unquestionably something all of us would want to unwrap. She resides in Orlando, Florida and has a very impressive resume. From modeling for Playboy and Maxim, doing ads for various high profile companies, appearing as a Co-Host on Spike TV’s TNA wrestling, and getting her voice heard on Srius satellite radio, Miss Cline does it all. This southern girl enjoys the simple things in life and is low-maintenance, need I say more?

“I like my whiskey straight, my beer stout, and my coffee (for the hangover) black.”

-Leticia Cline

Hope you had a good one Vinh

The Big Picture: The Year 2008 in Photographs

The Boston Globe just released a 3-part feature of photos from 2008. These photos amazingly cover the whole spectrum of human existence. Many of the most memorable acts from politics, war, and pop-culture were captured in the best of 2008 photos. Some photos are extremely graphic, so enjoy them with a cautious eye. Part 1 and part 2 have been released witha part 3 on the way.

Step your game up...

No matter how fresh one thinks they are, we could all use a little help...trust me. On that note, Esquire has just released a book to save us all. Esquire's The Handbook of Style (A man's guide to looking good) has tips about grooming to simply what tie goes with what pattern, etc. The book references classic styles of Frank Sinatra to the out of the box thinkings of Andre 3000. Cop this book at your local bookstore, and freshen up the steez.

Club Review: Temple SF

In my attempt to find new places to party, Temple nightclub in San Francisco can be added to the list. Having gone last weekend, the crowd was diverse, fun, and very friendly. This 22,000-square-foot club has amenities consisting of three large rooms ornamented with an Asian décor. Each room is also accommodated with bars to get your fade on. Temple is located on 540 Howard St in the City. I highly recommend this club, but I advise you to check in advance what kind of music will be playing before attending.

For those of you who like soul food...

For those of you who like soul food, Jon Jon’s, a southern style restaurant recently opened up on Capitol. With choices ranging from pork chops, chitterlings, baby back ribs, catfish, prawns, chicken, greens, and steak you’ll have many reasons to be full after coming to this spot. It is located on North Capitol Ave. in the middle of Cropley Ave. and Montague Expy. Open Monday thru Thursday 11a to 10p and Friday and Saturday 11a to 1a and Sunday 11a to 9p. If yall need to mapquest it the address is 2068 N. Capitol Avenue San Jose, CA 95132.

Eco Friendly Honda Gauge

Honda displayed a recent change in their display gauge for their hybrid models. Some of the key features include a light that changes based on if you are driving in an eco friendly way as well as an option to tweak the drive train to get more environmentally sound driving. Just that this was pretty dope.

Kanye West vs. Stephen Colbert

Kanye man, you can beat 50, but you can't beat Colbert. Honestly when it comes down to it, your fan base is a little bit smaller. And really you can't beat the Colbert bump in the charts. I don't know if you're experimenting with this new album, but heads up homie, I'm not feelin it.

This Diary Will Change Your Life 2009

So you remember earlier in the year when I was going through this book day by day, trying to see if it changed my life. It did for a while. To be honest. And really, I stopped doing it. But by the looks of things, Benrik is actually coming out with a 2009 book. Guess I know what's on my Christmas list.

FIFTY24SF Gallery

Two of my favorite artists are being exhibited at the Fifty24SF gallery in San Francisco. Jeremy Fish will be exhibiting his "Ghosts of the Barbary Coast" show which reflects his personal connection to his hometown city of SF and Miss Van from France will be exhibiting her " Still a Little Magic" show. I recommend everyone to check out these two shows, because I have a feeling that they'll be up in the "art" world someday. The exhibitions starts today (12/4/08) with 'Ghosts of Barbary Coast' on the upper level and 'Still a Little Magic' on the lower level. The show will run from Dec. 4th- 30th and I will definitely check it out in the coming weeks after some hectic-ness cools off. For more information check FIFTY24SF. Hollar.

Jay-Z - Brooklyn Go Hard ft. Santi White

Evan Roth of Graffiti Research Lab put this video together for Red & The Global Fund.

Last week I was contacted to make a video for a new Kanye West produced Jay-Z song for RED & the Global Fund to Fight AIDS in Africa. It launched today (World AIDS Day) at red.msn.com. And while I’m happy to be able to help the cause I’m also more than a little bit excited about getting a chance to make something for the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye. I’ve been turning down client requests to use Typographic Illustration for 5 years in hopes that one day the phone would ring and it would be Hova. The video can be seen on (RED) WIRE, or at this direct link on MSN video (I will update with an embed-able video shortly). I’m pretty sure that this is the first rap video to end with a download source code link.
