Ever wondered what happens if there’s a hidden camera show, but instead of doing practical jokes, it does one based on racism? How would you handle it? Crackle, a Sony owned site, decided to find out with a show called “True Colors”. It’s a show with Dwayne Smith ("Lonely Girl"), Lisa Bohacek and Circle of Confusion serving as executive producers of the series, which is produced by Sony Pictures Television. However, the show is not on TV, but on the Internet: Crackle.com.
I may know a little bit about the current financial environment, however, I don’t know how the credit crisis. So, most of the talks about lending to banks and why this is important went over my head. So, I found this video to be very informative. I hope it helps you out as much as it helped me.
The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

Couple days ago, this clip surfaced on YouTube where people think Pharrell is either having a diva moment or worse.
(Profanity laced)
Media Take Out in a recent article painted him as “lame of the day”, but a lot of reports said differently. Some one was injured and to prevent any more injuries, Pharrell decided to tell people to take a few steps back away from the stage for their safety. While Pharrell could have been more diplomatic about it, I see nothing totally wrong. He was worry about giving his best performance and the safety of his audience. Everyone will more likely listen to Pharrell, especially since he’s got the mic and can refuse to perform if he feels endangered.
Maybe Media Take Out should be called “lame blog of the day” for just trying to shock people with only half the story. I’m no journalist… but geez…
Public speaking. It’s the #1 fear next to death (according to come study that no one seems to reference). And yet, to be honest with you, I love watching when the President speaks… for the wrong reasons.
I started to get interested in politics when I enrolled in JROTC in high school on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. There was this one time when I was serving the honor guard and was assigned to honor a visit from the then-current commander in chief, Bill Clinton. However, it would this clip that helps pushed the “wrong reasons” angle.
To a lot of people, MIMS (Shawn Mims) is a ringtone rapper and a one-hit wonder. However, Mims look at himself and what he brings to the game in a very different light and he can make a believer out of you. He’s a well balanced act, knowing not only to how to make hit records, but is fully knowledgeable of what he’s capable of. You can hear it in his voice; he has a full knowledge of self, something that some artists going into their second album has may have trouble demonstrating. Mims aims to prove it again with his latest effort, “Guilt”, which will drop on April 7th. On a personal note (let’s keep it real, I try not to sugar coat things), I wasn’t that impressed with Mims before accepting the interview. My mind soon changed afterwards.
