Empire Avenue Is Monopolizing My Free Time

Good things have come from me joining XeeMe.com which is a great site to organize your entire Social Network into one location. XeeMe is excellent and also where I learned about trending networks such as Quora and EmpireAvenue.

I joined Quora but had to deactivate my account because they only let you use your "real" name. They did not believe that dj Goddessa was my real name, so that's the end of that story.

Then I joined Empire Avenue primarily to have more social network listings in XeeMe, but there was a big surprise waiting for me. This is a great game! I love games (Mafia Wars, Second Life, Bejeweled Blitz), and now EmpireAvenue has my attention. Empire Avenue involves simulating stocks and trading of which I knew nothing and previously thought I did not even care to expand my knowledge in this area. However, after two days of watching my stock go up and up and people "buying" into me before I even knew what I was doing there had me hooked.

Now, after two days, I can honestly say this is the best game I've played so far and it has elements of all good games. Another interesting aspect is that I have been begging my 4,000+ FB friends to "like" my fan page for months now with virtually no movement. After two days on Empire Avenue, 14+ likes on my FB Fan Page. This in itself is enough to keep me in.

However, not trying to re-create the wheel, you can check out these explanations that helped me play in my two days of play here:

The affected URL was a blog about Argy "Peace of Me"  I really don't care to research the supposed infringement, I am shocked and appalled with the heavy-handed Blogger Team approach.  WOAH!  The offending post will definitely remain in draft.  Hm, it did not have any free downloads, not even his song, just picture of album and quoted material from Ioda Promonet.

I remain innocent and ecstatic that someone is reading In-Box Jewels.

Have a beautiful weekend, Family!

Farewell to Pocket Tunes

I have had a Palm PDA since my Palm Treo 600 back in the day and began using Pocket Tunes for Palm and was able to stream my Internet station, Funk Sanctum Radio on my phone for the last nine years.  I have updated that Treo many times, and am still using my Treo 655p on Sprint with my original plan which is unlimited data usage for between $69 and $71 per month.  I am streaming my station continuously on it with no extra charges. 

Just last month I received notice that Pocket Tunes no longer will be updating Palm or Windows Mobile applications.  It was like yesterday when they worked with me personally to get my station, Funk Sanctum Radio, listed in the Pocket Tunes Online Radio Stations Directory more than 9 years ago (which, by the way is still listed, even though this list will never be updated again).  This was a very sad day for me indeed as I have never depended on any one application for so long and so faithfully. 

PLEASE NOTE: Pocket Tunes has been discontinued for Palm OS and Windows Mobile devices. This page is provided for your convenience only.

Hundreds of preset Radio Internet Stations.
Pocket Tunes 4.0 included a huge catalog of the most popular Internet Radio stations available.
This was my listing in the Preset Radio: 

Funk:

Greazy Radio Live365 Goddessa's Funk Sanctum NewOrleansRadio.com projectVIBE

I only listened to my own station on Pocket Tunes, and have not listened to any other terrestrial or Internet stations during these years.  However, as a result, my station sounds like no other, or if they sound like Funk Sanctum Radio, they have been listening to me. LOL

The thrill is that Pocket Tunes is presently working. I still am using my throw-back Palm and will continue until I figure out the next step.  Interestingly, I saw one of the most prolific writers of our times sharing his office on Sunday Morning during which he described still writing novels on one of the first standalone word processors--no email, internet, etc.  That is me, the only person on the West Coast still using a Palm with Pocket Tunes, but to me, it was a marriage made in Heaven.

Last month we took trip to desert and used my partners HTC Evo with the live365 application, and I tell you, there was more buffering than we ever experienced with my little Palm and PT.  However, maybe my Sprint network is more powerful than AT&T—who knows? 

What device and plan do you have and what would you recommend I reluctantly migrate to next and why?  Thanks for reading my rant about Pocket Tunes, and you are great application and will be sorely missed.

Live Performance: HTC performing "What Can I Do For You"

Happy Friday, Family!

This is how we started our morning. What can I do for you? What can you do for me? Sharing with you what is one of my favorite Labelle songs written by Nona Hendryx, and now getting a fresh rework by Grammy® Nominated artist Helen Bruner and Terry Jones who individually and collectively have worked on many recording projects as songwriters, producers and vocalists. 

“Bruner and Jones' songs have reached number one on the Billboard Charts, featured on Film/TV soundtracks, most notably the blockbuster film "The Score" starring Robert DeNiro. Their voices can be heard on national commercials and their songs have been licensed to numerous international compilations. Bruner and Jones take the driver's seat on their cd "Hollyhood" writing, producing, performing and mixing "Hollyhood." "Hollyhood" held the number one spot for five consecutive weeks on the Official UK Soul Charts. The documentary film "Indie Soul" about the trials of Helen & Terry as independent artists will premier at the Congressional Black Caucus Film Festival September 24, 2011.

ChinahBlac has gained fans worldwide, touring as a background vocalist for Grammy winners The Dave Matthews Band, Jill Scott, vocal director for Erykah Badu, and a list of others. Blac stepped into her own light and self-released her first cd, "Eugenia Shata" which critics have compared her to the likes of Chaka Kahn. This aggressive soul siren is WHITE HOT! Helen, Terry, and Chinah (H.T.C.) have come together to remake the Labelle classic "What Can I Do For You" released on September 13, 2011 on the Philerzy Productions label. The ladies keep the continuity of the 1974 original song while adding their own style. "What Can I Do For You" is produced by Helen & Terry while all three ladies share vocal production credits.”

New Exciting House Music: Rise Ashen and Flying Down Thunder

“Rise Ashen & Flying Down Thunder met on Ottawa's frozen Rideau Canal in 2009 & have been pollinating One Nation ever since. It was important for the pair to create music which was truly an amalgam, true to both the underground club sound and the traditional vocal style of the Anishinabe. Through their compositions, they are propelling traditional sounds into a fresh and new realm, while respecting the roots of Anishinabe music.

 

 

Producer, DJ and Dancer Rise Ashen has devoted his life to the study of sound and movement. He mashes and blends house and breaks with traditional and popular music from across the globe. Flying Down Thunder is a respected pow-wow singer and traditional dancer from the Algonquin Nation. His inspiration for music comes from the words of his elders. Anishinabe people, he was told, needed to build a bridge between Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal, as they learn to understand one another.”

Desert Beauty! :) on Twitpic

Why we love the desert:

Video: Benin - Angelique Kidjo - Toumbo in HD - G8 Festival Cornwall

Today's In-Box Jewel is none other than a video of a live concert of Angelique Kidjo. Unfortunately, I have never seen her live, but this is the next best thing and is definitely a "must watch" video. Stay up, family, and share some love today!

Google Page Rank Down From 2 to Big Fat 0

Dear Family,

It is startling and sad that this blog, In-Box Jewels, went from a Google Page Rank of 2 (which I put in a year and half of struggle to get) to a big fat 0, goose egg, nada today.

Okay, on the positive side?  I will exchange laboring over sending traffic here, getting quality backlinks and/or speeding up the load time of this page, etc., with more meditation, long walks, smelling real roses and Mafia Wars.

It takes a professional for a professional's job and SEO is obviously not going to be my next avocation.  Even though I put forth the effort, time and care, back down to a zero for an unknown reason.  I am only here to have fun, so let's rock!

Love,
Me

A must-watch video indeed. It is the perfect day weather-wise, health-wise, love-wise, and otherwise so naturally the perfectly stunning video and song I have ever heard and seen appears as well.

Thank God/Goddess/Goodness for the Internet.

Review: Monster Taxi and Frixos "Ocean Drive"

Jason Klein of Monster Taxi sent this to me and it is today's surprise "In-Box Jewel."  Surprising that this is smooth jazz and is bright, fresh and tight.  Jason Klein is on Jazz Piano.  This tune brightened my day, so sharing with you.  What do you feel?
