This Monday with the help of my good friend, I was able to get 
to come to my job and spend some time with the kids. My good friend Anton Lindsay called me saying that he would have some time with JIBBS while they were in Greensboro promoting his new single. Since JIBBS is still a minor and can’t really hit the nightclubs and bars, he wanted to do something in the ‘neighborhood’, so I told Anton there’s nothing better for him to do than come show some love to the local kids.
At the Central Unit Boys and Girls Club here in Greensboro, JIBBS came to show the kids his new dance and sign some autographs. Here’s a clip of JIBBS and his homeboy dancing for the kids and then the kids quickly picking it up and joining in.
It was great that this busy artist could take the time to stop and give back to his TRUE fans, the kids. He said that the kids were great and got into the music and dancing so much, he’d have to make a trip back soon.
According to the label, there are bigs plans for the young 17yr old star and we definitely wish him the best. Also Check him out on Myspace.

- Much Thanks and God Bless to JIBBS
Google SketchUp June 3, 2006

Hello everyone, I thought I’d take a second to talk about some fun software I’ve been messing around with. Google SketchUp is a very exciting and FREE program. Complete strangers(to designing) are able to make elaborate models of pretty much anything they desire, from scratch. It is a free download from Google and the software comes with self-paced tutorials to guide the user step-by-step.
It is a 3D program that lets you build for example, houses, churches, schools, etc., filling in every detail from shrubs, trees, lightpoles, couches, TVs, to wall clocks. You can add realtime shadows based on the time of day you prefer and search through an online 3D warehouse for various components done by millions of different users. If you are familiar with Google Earth, once you get advanced enough, you can even export your models to Google Earth; like if you make a model of your house or something.
It is definitely something to check out for those interested in archtecture & designing, maybe someone planning to design their own home, or just anybody that has some free time on their hands. Here are some pictures of my first model; it took me less than a hour. You are only able to see these in a two dimensional view, sorry to say. If anyone checks out the software please let me know how you like it. Ciao.
