Jermaine Dupri And Scott Case To Kick Off Startup Rally And Startup Georgia
Monday afternoon in Atlanta Georgia promises to bring the largest gathering of startups in the city since 1895 when it hosted the Cotton and International Exposition. Jermaine Dupri, entrepreneur and CEO of SoSoDef Recordings, is set to keynote Startup Rally which will showcase 100 regional startups at the Biltmore Hotel. The exposition and summer internship fair will kick off at 3:00pm and run until 7:00pm. At 5:00pm Scott Case, the founding CTO of Priceline.com and the CEO of the Startup America Partnership will take the stage to officially launch Startup Georgia. Dupri is no stranger to startup and entrepreneurship. His homegrown record label has spawned several Grammy award winning artists, and remains in Atlanta to this day. Dupri I also the founder of Global 14, a social network he launched in 2011 because he wanted a real social network vs “social notifying” which he says other social network are riddled with. Dupri was also one of many top tier keynote speakers at Startup Grind, earlier this month. ”My roots are in Atlanta, and so is my future,” explains Dupri, “I am excited to share the story about So So Def Recordings and Global 14 at Startup Rally and to support the growth of fresh ideas emerging from Atlanta.” Case continues his cross country evangelism for promoting startups and entrepreneurism. Last week Case kicked off everywhereelse.co The Startup Conference “Focusing on high-growth startups is a smart strategy for Georgia to grow its economy,” Case said. “Startup Georgia will provide a state-wide network to help the local entrepreneurs building the next great success story to access the opportunities and resources unique to the state.” Ticketing information can be found here.
Jermaine Dupri Celebrates 20 Years of So So Def
LETS START THE CELEBRATION
JEAN MICHEL BASQUIAT OPENING AT GAGOSIAN GALLERY
THAT SHIT !!!! Written by Harmony Difo Fear not! For behold, I bring you tidings of great joy! On February 7th, 2013, the largest demonstration of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work in 8 years was presented at Gagosian Gallery’s 24th Street location. Glassy-eyed Basquiat fans of all sorts and styles waited on lines for hours, compulsively grinning and referring to the “power,” “street-cred,” “aggression,” and “musicality” of the 60 paintings inside with the fervor of religious zealots speaking in tongues staring agape at an image of the Christ-child himself. However, walking around the gallery before this organized mob descended, these old “Basquiat buzzwords” lost all meaning. This time, Gagosian’s painting placement, brilliant and precise, highlighted pieces that were by no means “aggressive” or “street.” Rather it was the delicate, passive paintings from Basquiat’s final days that lit up the evening. These final works, disjointed by his heroin addiction and face-to-face with death, are the ones that actually defy the labels which Basquiat believed his audience branded onto him without his consent. So, feel free to leave all labels at the gallery door and simply watch a young artist once erroneously described as, “primal” and “aggressive,” morph into a contemplative 2013 neo-contemporary painter before your very eyes. Hark! A child is born in the post-Obama art world, and he shall be named, Basquiat!

10240 – Red Five X-wing Starfighter™
I GOTTA GET THIS This is LEGO‘s newest creating: the Star Wars inspired Red Five X-wing Starfighter. While I can’t attest to being a die hard LEGO fan, at least not any longer, it does look damn cool, as well as detailed. Much like the movie prop, the wings of the Red Five X-Fighter open and close dependent on the flight path and the pilot’s need for maneuverability versus speed, or one would assume. That said, a knob at the back activates this feature, and thanks to a counter weight design it looks like the wings will open and close with relative ease and not fail after a few attempts.
digg ARCHOS NEW PLATINUM LINE OF ANDROID TABLETS TAKE AIM AT APPLE’S RETINA DISPLAY (PRICE & SPECS)
THAT NEW NEW Great news for Archos fans. The company is further expanding its line of tablet computing solutions. We reviewed the formidable but slightly flawed Archos Gen X10 running Android. The company took all the cool ideas from that device and slapped them in the recently announced Titanium line of impending Archos tablets. But what’s this–yet another new line of tablets!? What so ever could be the difference? Well this new Platinum line will be the first tablets on the Android platform to feature true HD IPS display types that combine with the beefy performance of a Quad-Core CPU. There are 3-new tablets in the Platinum line. Each features a distinguished aluminum design. At the bottom tier is the Archos 80 Platinum, an 8-inch slab that kicks out a 1024 x 768 resolution across its IPS screen. This device boasts speeds that are twice as fast as the popular Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Further trumping the Kindle, the 80 Platinum has double the RAM and a rear-facing camera, for only a $199 and it’s available later this month.
