Wow no updates suck right?  Rejoice! The dry spell is over and here is the first long overdue post. We’ve been fortunate to have our paths cross with a few of the very talented artists on Chocolate Industries straight out of Chicago. Back in September, Alicia and I ventured down to the heart of Boston’s college territory to Northeastern where The Cool Kids killed it. They put on such an electric live show and seriously pissed off security. I moreso felt like I was at a punk rock show then a hip hop show. Besides playing my favorite track, “What It Is”, Mikey and Chuck hung out with us for a bit after the show. Mikey schooled all who came before him at Super Smash Bros and the beatings were merciless. We’re working on  getting an interview with these guys as their newest record, “Bake Sale” has been praised by critics and fans alike.

Zannel – Twitter on the roids

First, explaining to someone what “micro-blogging” is can be a hard and funny task, but a lot of us are doing it every day without knowing it. Besides the ubiquatous staple micro-blogging site Twitter, if you use popular services like Facebook and Myspace and update your “status” you’re essentially micro-blogging. The one difference being that instead of just a network of friends, anyone and everyone can see and partake in a conversation with you. I just started working for Zannel– a new startup based out in San Francisco which is going into it’s second year of being public. Zannel takes some of the key features of micro-blogging, like character limits and following friends, and adds more multimedia features like audio and video. All of these can be operated simply and efficiently from either your mobile phone or computer. Because of its added features it’s been described by tech critics and users as,  “Twitter on steroids”, but fret not friends. It won’t snap at you for no reason in the middle of the day and beat you into a  pulp, or at least I don’t think so. It can be embedded to other great web services like your blog, Facebook, Myspace and even Twitter. Which is great for everyone from actors, musicians and businesses to stay connected with friends and fans. Signing up is a snap, and wait there’s a contest at work- if I get 100 people to sign up I win a snazzy prize, so come on and sign up, make me your friend and start Zanneling!

Heron Preston is the kind of guy when you think that he’s sleeping on his game he’s really out there perfecting his hustle. He’d been keeping pretty secret on why he wasn’t updating his blog but now he’s letting us in on the secret as he invites us all to meet the Young and the Banging. Way to go Mr. Preston, what do you have next up you’re sleeve?
