ESPN brings 3D to Sports

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Last year 3D came back in full effect. nVidia dropped their GeForce graphics chips for CPU gamers making titles like Resident Evil 5 3D capable — not to mention a number hot movies that had 3D releases, one being a certain billion dollar grossing flick named Avatar.  Need any more proof that 3D is going to be the future of entertainment?

Well behold, USA Today reported ESPN’s newest venture – a 3D network that is set to launch June 2010.  ESPN 3D will begin broadcasting their content in 3D starting with the World Cup soccer matches.  Additional content to receive the 3D treatment will include the Summer X Games, NBA, NCAA Basketball and Football.  DirecTV is also rumored to be following suit with 3D sports programming as well.

It is unclear how this new technology is going to work in conjunction with the home.  But know this…if you just copped a 50-inch flat screen, LED television for Christmas to watch the Superbowl and NCAA tournament, look likes it’s time for an
upgrade.

Rocky Rivera: Repaving the way for Women MCs!

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Long before Krishtine de Leon, the Hip-Hop journalist, won a Contributing Editor
on MTV’s docu-series, I’m From Rolling Stone, she was an MC by the name of EyeASage.  Writing was her day job, penning articles for magazines such as Vapors, XXL, The Source and Rolling Stone.

But she also wrote raps in the very same Moleskine that house her reporters’ notes, performing with her crew Rhapsodistas at college functions and community events.  Her playful-yet-militant style of rapping expressed a message that was bigger than the limitation Hip-Hop placed on her gender, and for once, gave her freedom to speak outside an institutional voice.

Two years and 13 tracks later, EyeASage, now known as Rocky Rivera, has completed her self-titled debut album with production by 6Fingers, DexBeats, Nick James, Keelay & Zaire, CZA, and Fatgums — Once again, she is now ready to enter the national spotlight!

Rocky Rivera is a call to arms for young ladies to take Hip-Hop back and is also a testament that truth is universal, irregardless of gender.  The music on Rocky Rivera (dropping February 2, 2010) is designed to move you and ready to be heard at a high volume!

Make sure you look out for Rocky Rivera this February!  Check out her latest video for MRSHMLO below and visit her site at http://www.rockyrivera.com/
