Best Food Safety Practices: Grocery Shopping & Eating Takeout (Video)
March 30, 2020
In times like these, we must listen to the science; and to the practitioners! Dr. Jeffrey VanWingen aka Dr. Jeff VW is breaking the knowledge down to the very last compound (as KRS-ONE might say). Check out what he has to say about staying vigilant and being meticulous about the safest choices and sterilization processes for the food we eat.
It is NOT all ‘common sense’ but it will all make sense when your hear from it from the Doc.
IMPORTANT EDIT FROM NIH DATA: COVID-19 LIVES ON CARDBOARD FOR 1 DAY.
This is the most current video for New CDC data, safe takeout food practices, and an updated practice for safe grocery shopping/handling.

March 16, 2020
Of course, Sway is gonna have the go-to smart Brother speak on the Coronavirus when he comes through. How could he not? Shout to Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson for always bringing light, logic and a bit of levity to even the most touchy matters #ButNoTouchingNowadays #SocialDistancing
In our recent interview with Neil Degrasse Tyson, he talked about the new season of The Cosmos, breaks down the falsehood of the theories that humans use only 10% of their brains, and how genetics can pass down intellectual and physical attributes.

How A.I. Could Be “Setting The Foundation For The End Of Human Disability” (Video)
January 24, 2020
(Re-read the title. Now that’s DOPE!)
Ohhhhh! They started with the better-stronger-faster intro to ‘Six Million Dollar’ from back in the day man. WOWWW! And Robert Downey, Jr. is back to narrate this episode.
Through life changing accidents, and data minded through NASCAR, human beings are finding ways to rebuild one another so that we are better, faster, and stronger than ever before and all with the help of A.I. Once nothing more than the stuff of comic books and TV shows, we truly have the technology to become modern superheroes.
The Age of A.I. is an 8-part documentary series hosted by Robert Downey Jr. covering the ways Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Neural Networks will change the world.

Science/Technology: Will Artificial Intelligence Ever Be A Real Thing? (Video)
January 21, 2020
Incredible!
And a great choice for narrator… Movie ‘Tony Stark’ himself, Robert Downey, Jr. Kinda like how Morgan Freeman is spot on as narrator for documentaries about the universe, being movie ‘God’ himself.
Can A.I. make music? Can it feel excitement and fear? Is it alive? Will.i.am and Mark Sagar push the limits of what a machine can do. How far is too far, and how much further can we go?

Because science! Cool tech RULES! And this is intriguing.

History: Rare Footage Of Famed Scientist George Washington Carver (Video)
November 19, 2019
Fascinating!
My Grandpa (T. C. Cottrell) actually knew Dr. Carver. In fact, he gave Grandpa several of hair tonic treatments… right there on the Tuskegee Institute (way before it became Tuskegee University) campus back, back in the day! A bit of Carver & Cottrell history for you.
Now, I have been to the Museum several times. I even worked as a student research assistant for the Carver Foundation on Campus over several summers back in my teen years. But this footage, showing a bit of the LEGENDARY scientist/inventor as he lived, gives me chills… and swells of pride.
After all, I am Tuskegee, through and through. And so is this!
Originally shared on the US National archives website, this appears to be some of the only surviving color footage of famed inventor George Washington Carver (1860s-1943). Photographed here in and around his home at Tuskegee University by Dr. Cornelius Allen Alexander.

Science: Will We Survive Mars? (Video)
November 8, 2019
‘Glad You Asked’ looks like an interesting series. This premiere episode definitely got my geek meter needle going up (er… pause?… kinda). YouTube might have to get some money out me to play (okay, pause again, just to be sure).
NASA says the first humans will set foot on Mars in the mid-2030’s. It will be the most dangerous mission any human has ever taken. Glad You Asked host Cleo Abram wants to know: What comes after that? Not how do we get there, but how will we survive once we do?

Environment/Activism: How Much Do ‘Black Lives Matter’ To This Louisiana Plant? Not Much… (Video)
October 3, 2018
Just off G.P. this should get a thorough looking into. Just think: It there is a chance that a deadly chemical, given off in the process to make recreational stuff, is killing off this predominantly Black Louisiana town, isn’t it worth study (and a fight, if true)? This 77-year old ‘fighter’ thinks so. So he’s taking on a giant chemical plant to save his community.

Elon Musk Speaks On His Concerns About Artificial Intelligence (Video)
September 28, 2018
I’m an alien… It’s true.
– Elon Musk
Got the full (very full) show with Elon chatted up for over 2 and 1/2 hours of tech talk (for those who want it) after the jump. But the clip above though: We’re focused on convo about artificial intelligence. Probably goes without saying that a Mars expedition (like the Space X venture being planned) has gotta be able to use some of that sweet A.I. Especially if the crew runs into some ‘other’ aliens (ha)!
Thoughtful (and kinda scary) insights from the guy we call ‘Real Life Tony Stark’ around here.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Speaks On Astronomy And Science Back In The Days Of Christopher Columbus (Video)
September 11, 2018
If you needed more reasons to think Columbus was a d!ck…
HA! So why not just start with that, Neil?
Indeed, Christopher Columbus leveraged his knowledge of astronomy of his day to con natives out of precious resources during his journeys. Yep. Taking advantage of folks who don’t know better… d!ck move!
Just a bit of a fire-starter factoid to kick off the astronomy discussion.

Filmmaker And Tech Enthusiast Pete Majarich Gives Us A Look At The ‘Surface Of Mars’… From Utah (Short Film)
September 10, 2018
Uh ohhh. Elon Musk, we have a problem.
There are still moon-landing deniers around who claim that all that video of that American space trip was faked. And this short film “The Visitor” (by Australian filmmaker Pete Majarich) is an even more appealing, amazing, look at a trip to what looks to be a ‘red’ planet.
This was shot in a southern Utah desert. Confirmed (hit the jump and see). So, if we make the Mars trip… proving it… could be a problem!
(But this is a cool tech-driven flick though. No problem with that.)

Food: Homegrown Tomatoes Taste Better (Video)
August 31, 2018
My Dad was a sharecropper through late his preteen years before his family moved to Tuskegee. The farmer in him meant we would have a pretty big garden every year, overflowing with tomatoes. They were not heirloom tomatoes like these, but those ‘maters did taste different. Guess that is no surprise. Homegrown vs. storebought, you know… It’s just that this video gives a ‘fullness’ to the argument that I cosign. Check it out.
Ever wonder why homegrown tomatoes taste so much better than ones you buy in a store? Renowned seed saver and farmer John Coykendall hits it out of the park with this explanation – and shows how heirloom veggies, like tomatoes, link us to our ancestors!

Science: Elon Musk’s Plans For Humans Moving From Earth To Mars Have Likely Been Thwarted (Video)
August 9, 2018
Dang it.
Musk put the numbers, plans, presentations, and MONEY on it. I was thinking futuristic ‘Martians’ would be humans – ‘terrans’ if you want to speak ‘Star Trek’ about it – in the not-so-distant future. But now we have proof of water on Mars, meaning the possibility of LIFE. And it turns out that we already have a ‘flavor’ of Trek’s prime directive (e.g. planetary protection rules) already in place… and blocking any Space X effort to terraform the Red Planet for human inhabitance. That, and the realization that what it’d take to give Mars an atmosphere is all but impossible.
Watch the vid above and follow the link below to read up.
(But hey, upside: Life on Mars already! Maybe…)

Discovery Channel’s Cage Match: Shaq Vs. Sharks (Video)
July 25, 2018
He thought it was ‘Shaq Week’ but nah, son, it is “SHARK Week” on Discovery Channel… every year. But props to the Big Shaqtus for leaving the land and braving the depth to do a face-to-face the potentially vicious fishes, mano y (um) shark-o.
Shaq faced his fears and conquered them. Turns out that there wasn’t much to fear… until A SHARK GOT INTO THE CAGE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HIM!!
Yeah. That happened. Hit the jump and see.
