jdobypr's insight:

The Hype Magazine | Who is Blanco Caine?


Who is Blanco Caine and where are you from?

Blanco Caine is an entrepreneur. I'm completely self employed and investing in myself. I'm a father of two, a Gemini (yeah, it's two of me...lol), and an all-around hustler. Oh yeah, I'm a dope ass rapper too! LOL

I'm born, raised, & reside in Chicago...ChiRaq is what most call it. Home of the 6 rings.

Describe your style?

A laid back flow and very visual. Every verse I rap, you can close your eyes and picture what I'm talking about. I tell it how I see it and don't care about who gets offended.

Do you believe that your music will withstand the test of time? 

Definitely, there are so many people in the world that are going through the same things that I have. The game doesn't change...just the players. Time effects trends. Rappers that gave you substance still gain new fans even if the beats are outdated.

Phones, Music, Tablets now 'You Don’t Want An iWatch'? | TechCrunch

Phones, Music, Tablets now 'You Don’t Want An iWatch'? | TechCrunch | The Urban Link | Scoop.it
Proposing that entrenched sub-cultures should try something new is dangerous. Going into guitar forums with a new idea is a prospect fraught with peril for anyone who dares move beyond the six-strings-and-a-dream mentality of guitar purists.

Via Gary Hayes
Gary Hayes's curator insight, February 23, 7:12 PM

Could Apple beat this malaise with an iOS-powered iWatch? Maybe, but I doubt it. First, it would require more processing power than, say, an iPod Nano (an iPhone’s processor might be overkill) and a battery that would last months. It would need a readout that can show the time at a glance and a low-power wireless connection to the phone that will stay connected without issue for weeks. It would need to be water and shock proof and look good on the wrist. In short, it has to beat a G-Shock or your Dad’s old Hamilton mechanical.

When looking at a smart watch I would propose something like the Butch Test – can this watch retain its value as a timekeeping instrument and item of value even after spending seven years in a place unconducive to a delicate object? If it can, it’s a watch. If it can’t, it’a fad. iPods of a certain vintage, for example, are still usable, as are some computers. My Palm watch, amazing in its day, is a cold hunk of metal and my SPOT watch rests forlornly on a clipped branch of smart watch evolution. Most watchmakers abide by strict standards of usability, ruggedness, and quality. Few smart watches, on the other hand, are rugged, strong, and useful enough to match the utility of an “uncomfortable hunk of metal” on the wrist.

Downtown L.A.'s edgy arts district is neighborhood in transition | The Urban Link | Scoop.it
When Gideon Kotzer set out to open a discount electronics store in the mid-1990s, he deliberately chose an old warehouse in the cultural middle of nowhere — the arts district of downtown Los Angeles, which charitably could be called sketchy.
