Kanye's Journey into R&B
I picked up the new Kanye West CD at Barnes and Nobel yesterday and I am loving it. It is his first venture into the R&B scene. I guess the cool thing to do now-a-days is change your voice like T Payne does, but its okay. The Album as a whole is completely different than anything that Kanye has done in the past and its great. Its such a interesting fusion of music. Similar to my comments about Serj Tankian’s CD the use the Piano a lot and it sounds great. I guess the Piano is making a comeback.
My two favorite songs are Heartbreak and Love Lockdown. It is hard to find fresh music these days but compared to all of his other albums this is a complete transformation.

A URL is a technical thing: a hostname, a path, a port, an origin, some query parameters, etc. But a link is a cultural thing: an invitation, a citation, a gift, a shortcut, a connection. All from a simple idea: here’s a thing that points to another thing,...

I've written about this topic a number of times before, but in this case I'm tempted to re-use the popular meme "When the worst person in the world makes a good point," as I did awhile back when I wrote about Elon Musk&
