Chances are your digital life is strewn across more places than Dick Cheney has houses. mp3s on your computer, iPod, and phone, pictures on your phone, camera, and on Facebook, MySpace or Flickr – you’ve got more dignity than Photobucket, please tell me you do. and you’ve got DVDs, TiVo’d shows, and movies you’ve downloaded off the net. It’s about time all your media came into the same place.

Sell a series of one-of-a-kind, vintage, handmade, skeleton-key necklaces for $75 each, and use the proceeds to create a grant fund that musicians and writers, painters and photographers, travelers and revelers can tap for their next project. Each key is one of a series of 823 denoted by letters of the alphabet (currently ‘a’). Each letter corresponds to a different fund.

Underworld’s “Born Slippy” lights up my headphones…
Paper Route Gangstaz…
The beat drops, the telltale Southern high-hat kicks in…
Stuntastic, yeah… in my own way…
Blaqstarr starts weaving laid back Southern rhymes about cash, skillz, and women… Fear and Loathing in Hunts Vegas is going to be a fun ride.
