Technology: Google Maps ‘Timeline’ Setting Tracks Your Every Move (Video)
October 24, 2016
“When turned on” huh… and you can just ‘turn it off’ huh? Yeah, right. THIS is why I am not cracking when y’all crack on my ‘dumb phone’ though. Mind your biz, Google, not mine! No ‘Timeline’ on me. Thiz shiz right here…
There’s a setting in your Google account, which — when turned on — creates a record of everywhere you go and when you went there. It’s intended to make your Google Maps experience more useful, like providing a faster commute to work or home. In 2015, the company also started rolling out another feature called “Timeline,” which lets you easily view this information on a private, customizable map of your every move. Here’s how to access it and turn it off in case it creeps you out.

Ha! ‘Private’ or not (read: not), Google can (read: is) generating a “customizable map of your every move.” Yeeeeaaah, um, I know where I’ve been. I’m cool, Google. But thanks for offering. File this under ‘just because you can do a thing does not mean you should.’

Weed Infused Wine (Video)
October 17, 2016
This line of Mary Jane Wines though… wooo… the promise of a glass of high-class high. Some conjecture as to whether the hemp-infused wine will actually make you flyyyy robinnn flyyyy, but the prospect is fun to consider, isn’t it. Check it out and see if it’s something you and your friends can go five on.
(Normally the ‘Mary Jane’ comes in a sack, right? So, would this come in some kind of Crown Royal bag? Some folks transport in that… we’ve heard *wink*)

Prodigy Shares And Shows How He Cooks BBQ Salmon (Video)
October 14, 2016
Verrrry interesting. A recipe demo for the Commissary Kitchen: My Infamous Prison Cookbook that Prodigy is pushing. While marketing execs might call this Merch 101, don’t you still want to try this fish? Plus: Knowledge dropped about his sickle cell disease, and how he adapted his diet while locked up (talked about that situation, too) to help him stay healthy.
First things first: You always wash your hands first!

College Football Field Transforms Into Tuition-Paying Farm (Video)
October 10, 2016
Now, I’ll holler at any TV screen showing a college football field being put to good use. Before now, I thought that that was filling the field with high-powered, pounding offense and aggressive defense, with all the scores and collisions that come along with those. Gotta admit though. This…pretty good idea. Greens will grow, just like grass did. If you’re not pushing a sled down that field, dig it up and push a plow up it. Sow and harvest. Address the nearby food dessert (where residents have very limited access to fresh produce) AND fund higher education to boot.
Awesome. Simply awesome.

Fat Joe Speaks On Big Pun, Beef With Pun’s Wife, Going Indy, Getting Healthy And More (Video)
September 26, 2016
Let’s keep it a buck. If Fat Joe and Remy Ma ain’t up there screaming, “Big Pun”…ain’t nobody else giving a F*CK!
– Fat Joe
Damn. Might have to file this Power 99 interview with Don Joey under ‘keeping it real.’ Although… you do now have that lie spotting skill set we just posted on here. Test that. Did Fat Joe do Pun’s wife wrong? Watch and decide for yourself as he speaks on that, how he struggled and to get where he is (now happily independent), how he got into DEEP trouble with the IRS (and is getting out) and more.
(Deeeeem! Have you seen Joe’s wifey Lorena though? Hit the jump. Respect!)

The Founder (Trailer)
September 24, 2016
Always heard this story told and retold (usually as part of an Amway pitch… no shots, just saying). Very interesting though, never thought of Ray Kroc as such a shark. Check out this trailer for “The Founder,” starring Michael Keaton.
The story of McDonald’s founder, Ray Kroc.
Long way from Batman movies for Keaton. Looks good.

Gary Vaynerchuk Gives His ‘Amplify Live Experience’ Keynote Address (2016) [Video]
September 12, 2016
Be self-aware. Know thyself. Then be that to make your way to the top! Don’t be that entrepreneur trying be something else or trying to sell what you have… that line about business coaches who have not made money in any business other than ‘being a business coach’…zing!
And that’s just the beginning (really starting at 3 minutes). This is over an hour strong of Gary, the whole Gary, and nothing but Gary Vaynerchuk. But of course, in expected Vaynerchuk fashion, the time is mostly spent in question & answer format. But still… this is the realest of real talk (with a LOT of f#cking cussing). Press play now.

Gary Vaynerchuk Speaks On His Upbringing, Life As An Entrepreneur, His Company VaynerMedia And More (Video)
September 10, 2016
I’ve been rocking with Gary Vaynerchuk for a recent minute. Good content and wisdom coming from this guy…ALWAYS! And unlike any number of how-to-get-rich-and-live-that-life guys, Vaynerchuk has actually done (and still doing) what he’s sharing with us: THE HUSTLE! Check out his interview with Larry King above.
Gary Vaynerchuk builds businesses. Fresh out of college he took his family wine business and grew it from a $3M to a $60M business in just five years. Now he runs VaynerMedia, one of the world’s hottest digital agencies. Along the way he became a prolific angel investor and venture capitalist, investing in companies like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Uber, and Birchbox before eventually co-founding VaynerRSE, a $25M angel fund.
The #AskGaryVee Show is Gary’s way of providing as much value as possible by taking your questions about social media, entrepreneurship, startups, and family businesses and giving you his answers based on a lifetime of building successful, multi-million dollar companies.

Eagle-360: Goodyear’s Spherical Futuristic Concept Tire (Video)
September 7, 2016
You’ve heard, “There’s no need to reinvent the wheel,” before, right? Well, maybe we don’t NEED to; but Goodyear is damn sure doing it. Full disclosure: This ‘reinvention’ is actually a reimagination of the vehicle tire concept. Introducing Goodyear’s Eagle-360. Think ‘wide tread’… the widest ever… spherical!

Tabria Majors Reviews The Anti-Gravity iPhone Case (featuring Eliza Love) [Video]
September 3, 2016
You know what? I know this is pretty much an infomercial for the Anti-Gravity iPhone Case. YOU know it, too. But WE don’t care that much, do we? At least not enough to keep us from watching for the rush of seeing two Honeyz looking so thick-a-licious while they sell to us.
(Hell, whatever Tabria is selling, I have been down to buy from jump. Facts.)

Massive cool!

Sports performance equipment and lifestyle item maker Oakley has teamed up with professional golfer Bubba Watson to create a flying platform that looks straight out of a “Jonny Quest” cartoon… with a special place to put your clubs. It’s called Bubba’s Jet Pack. AMAZING!

Altwork’s Integrated Workspace: “The Station” (Video)
August 8, 2016
Okay. Looks like you can get really productive, really comfortable, or both with this new generation uber-ergonomic tech-integrated work desk.
Altwork introduces its new integrated workspace, the Station, designed to be a multifunctional piece of furniture that gives you more flexibility with respect to how you interact with your computer.
Of course, all this could take a lot of getting used to – the concept, getting comfortable with going from collaborative, to standing, to seated, to lying prone Station positions, computers and peripherals hanging around and above you. Oh, and the price is nothing nice. Get out your black card and slide it for about $7,000 player!
(Still looks cool though.)
The Roots – “Bittersweet”
August 6, 2016
You cannot just turn a concept for a commercial jingle over to The World’s Greatest Late Night Band… the standard bearers for Hip-Hop with instrumentation… and think you will just get a 30-second clip. No. And Stella Artois had to know that. A promotional song so strong it can stand as a single alone. Check out The Roots with their “Bittersweet” jawn.
What does a sound taste like? Experience “Bittersweet” by The Roots, the first ever song you can taste. Based upon scientific research that explores the relationship between our senses, one side has been written to bring out the sweeter flavors in a Stella Artois, while the other enhances the bitter notes. Can you taste the difference?

What Ever Happened To The Concorde Plane? (Video)
July 27, 2016
This plane could cross the Atlantic in 3.5 hours. In the time you’d take a cross-state bus trip, you’d be across the ocean on ANOTHER continent!! The Concorde gave us supersonic transport. So, with all that going for it, why did this supersonic plane fail? The answer is complicated. Vox’s Phil Edwards investigated.
Money Mayweather Speaks On Everything: Nearly Five Hours Of Mayweather (Video)
July 22, 2016
King Build-A-B!tch… BWAAAAAHAHAAA!! Floyd Mayweather is speaking on ALL topics and people – Pacquiao, Trump, Nelly, 50 Cent – no topic is off limits in this five-part series. Each part is about an hour-long. So many wowwww moments like:
Young Thug is extremely talented?
Future was supposed to be signed to Mayweather?
Mayweather Money ain’t like ‘other’ money; neither is his fashion. True Religion, Jordans, that’s for others.
Traveling… Ibiza…. San Trope…. Floyd’s been there and all of there. Not impressed.
To Kanye West: Keep up the good work …really misunderstood.
It’s not all about the money… but he is ‘Money’ Mayweather.
(Biggest ‘wow’ though: Melyssa Ford like WOWWW! Still sexy.)
