Dan Shor… not Jamaican, but brilliant nonetheless! Another of my cool friends
So, I’ve made a decision to get out of the house more (it’s really not that cold here in New York, relatively speaking). So, yesterday, I hung out in downtown Manhattan with veteran film actor Dan Shor. Yes, THAT Dan Shor of Tron movie fame. So, me and Dan were shooting the breeze in an […]

Conjured up by a Sikh
Strolling around the Big Apple in the Union Square area waiting on a friend. So, I’m hanging out with a friend in Washington Square Park near New York University.

The Funny Things That Customers Do: I reserve the right to refuse…
As a nomadpreneur, I conduct a large portion of my business on the internet. I have websites through which I offer products and services to a wide range of markets. I was listening, the other day, to a radio broadcast that was discussing the effect that technology has had on human interaction. A fascinating phenomenon […]

Music Matters: Reggae Music and The Jamaican in China!
For reasons I’ve yet to fully comprehend, I LOVE playing music for people. It all started back in college when I took over the reins of the “Caribbean Riddims” radio show from then host, Courtney Munroe. For the next five years, I was known as “Sir Walt” the Reggae Deejay on WKCR-FM’s Thursday night show. […]

From Harlem to Hainan!
What do the free Summer concerts in New York City for 2011 have to do with me in China??? So, here I sit on a beach on a tropical island off the coast of The People’s Republic of China. Meanwhile, 8,361 miles (13,455k) away on another island in the United States of America, people are […]
