Erykah Badu Bares Herself (Literally!!) In New Video
In her new music video for her latest release, "Window Seat", the never shy Erykah Badu has taken artist exposure to a whole new level by baring herself – literally!!
The controversial video was shot in one take on crowded Dealey Plaza in Ms. Badu's Dallas hometown in the same location where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.
Badu posted these comments about the shoot on her Twitter account, "i was petrified while shooting this video...but liberation began to set in. i conquered my fears in that few moments."
She went on to tweet, "i been naked all along in my words actions and deeds. thats the real vulnerable place."
Dallas police are not charging Ms. Badu with indecent exposure because they received no official complaints and because they didn't catch her in the act.
When asked what she did after the filming, Badu said quite wisely, "we ran."
Peep the "Window Seat" vid and let us know what you think.

Without Flash, The iPad is Just Flashy!
The new Apple iPad is gorgeous in its lines. It's truly sleek and incredibly thin. The resolution looks superb and the the touchscreen with the full-size keyboard should make for a wonderful web experience...at least they should. But, right now, I think this beautiful device will just make for a really frustrating experience because the iPad, like the iPhone, does not yet support Flash video, the default standard of the web!
During Steve Jobs' introduction and demonstration of the iPad, what jumped out at me was the little blue cube that appeared on the New York Times website indicating that Flash is not supported. More and more most sites, even newspaper sites, have robust video sections, so what is one to do on the iPad?
As much as I am an Apple fan, even I have to admit that this omission sucks for the user!

And Just What Is A Negro Dialect?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid apologized, I guess, for letting down his guard and saying what he truly felt. During President Obama's historic campaign to become president, Reid opined that Obama just might be able to pull it off because his assets included being a "'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.'"
So, just what is a Negro dialect? Is there really such a thing? I need to know, just in case I want to have one too!

Tough Economy Turning Some Into Entrepreneurs
One unforeseen affect of the tough economic times is that it is turning many who never considered business ownership into entrepreneurs. The New York Times reports that this trend is particularly note-worthy in Detroit where the displaced and unemployed feel that they have absolutely nothing to lose and the city's depressed economy offers a considerable stock of relatively affordable retail spaces.
