We've been doing some presenting as of late — twice at
JAM
and once a MinIT (a sub-group of
GusDay
) — so I've been thinking a bit more about presentations than I normally might — creating, delivering, watching, etc. I ran across this article on

Here is our Tech Talk from May 6, 2010. In it, I talk about why you might want to read blogs, how to find some interesting blogs and, finally, how to keep track of all the blogs you want to read by using an RSS reader.

Since its inception, hip-hop has sampled from previously produced music to create something brand new. Using
two turntables and a microphone
, a disco, rock, or folk song could be transformed into rap. The digital internet culture has made this even easier over the past decade. People don't even need turntables, just a laptop. This took a huge leap forward when
DJ Danger Mouse (in)famously remixed
The Beatles' White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album to create
the Grey Album
.
