Nice, am getting pretty excited for the future hehe! Seriously, have been getting back in ‘the groove’ and in a couple of days ‘Internet Week NY 2008′ will start and I am attending heaps of events. I hope to get inspired and maybe a new partner

The ten days went by rather fast. The wife’s coming back from Miami today! No more kid duty! This needs a party! Hahaha, the Penguins are playing tonight. They killed it the other day! The game was mindblowing and I expect a similar performance tonight!

I love the track ‘Handlebars‘, well actually the whole album of this group called “FloBots‘, their album is called ‘Fight with tools’

Some info on Flobots:

When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section, a classically trained violist, and a jazz trumpet player, the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop.  Progressive in both style and message, the band’s ability to drop from symphonic rock-infused crescendos into stripped-down string-laden breakbeats has earned Flobots a reputation for both originality and authenticity.  Armed with musicianship, intelligence, and an ingrained sense of rebellion, Flobots are looking to engage a new musical culture, one mind at a time. read more…

In February 2008, Flobots launched a project entitled “Street Team” which will allow them to put their socially and politically ripe lyrics into action. Brer Rabbit has said, “There are lots of things we can say theoretically about wanting to activate a population, but we are actually trying to create a real plan to allow people to be a positive force in the community.” Street Team allows volunteers to sign up to work on various projects throughout their community. Currently, Flobots have partnerships with Colorado Progressive Coalition, Student Peace Alliance, and Denver Children’s Home. The Flobots also have performed several free concerts at PeaceJam events. read more….

Other than that, oh… I had my bodyfat measured: 20.5% . I want to go down to 17 % so it’ll take some dedication… but like with snowboarding, I will be persistant and I will succeed!
