GuySpeak.com, a new website by WeTV, launched this week and my BFF Panama Jackson is one of its featured writers. P’s character, or persona, is the “Girls’ BFF,” which is funny to me because that’s exactly what he’s been to me for the past several years. You can read his bio and archive on GuySpeak [...]

I think for the past five years I have been dying to go to SXSWi, and every year the opportunity eclipsed me for various reasons. Most of this stemmed from whatever job (or school) I was in at the time, but this year I had no excuses, as I am my own boss. Just when [...]

Today Panama posted the 100th post on VerySmartBrothas.com. It was a momentous occasion for us all, so we ended up posting the VSB 100th Post Commentator Awards, which was pretty freaking hilarious if you ask me. We unveiled our VSB clothing line. Ok, so it’s not exactly a clothing line, it’s an online t-shirt shop [...]

A few days ago we installed the second round of additions to the WIRED SCIENCE Facebook application (which I discussed first here). We gave the application more elements (10 elements, instead of 5), more compounds (55 compounds instead of 15), and I redesigned the quiz algorithm (and added one more question). Take the test again [...]

For those who didn’t catch it on my Twitter, Flickr and Facebook accounts, Very Smart Brothas.com was featured in The Metro News yesterday in three markets (Boston, NYC, and Philadelphia). To say I was ecstatic is an understatement. A few months ago, Panama and The Champ came to me and said they had a blog [...]

It feels a little odd knowing that a hobby of mine eventually turned into somewhat of a [...]
