After a conversation with Mark Borden, senior editor at Fast Company Magazine, about the best time to publish online, we thought that other people may be interested too. I asked Kym McNicholas: Forbes, Ben Parr: Mashable, Joe Vazquez: CBS 5, John C. Dvorak: Cranky Geeks and Jennifer Van Grove: Mashable, what time they find the best to pitch, tweet, and set facebook status updates.Check out this week's interview in Fast Company where the video is featured.

This video is a review of the three pro's and con's to the Kin One.Update: Microsoft Kin was discontinued after only 48 days. Whew! That didn't take long at all. That's about the shortest product life-cycle we can remember for this little "smart" phone. Now they are practically giving them away on clearance. Microsoft is discontinuing to use resources and build a tablet computer that will compete with Apple's iPad. Clearly, they didn't plan out this early discontinuation. If that had been the case, Microsoft would have launched some super high end fancy product as the end of the life-cycle of the Kin drew. That way they would lure everyone in for a clearance sale and advertise the new (already launched) product for sale.(New York Times has the story).

The acronym N.E.R.D. stands for "No One Ever Really Dies," but childhood friends Chad Hugo, Pharrell Williams, and Shay most certainly used the group to proudly emphasize the nerdier aspects of their musical personalities. Before this side project took shape, Hugo and Williams -- as the Neptunes -- had established themselves as giants in the field of pop production, whether they were working with hardcore rappers, smooth crooners, or teen pop groups. Although their faces were known to many due to this prominence, N.E.R.D. allowed the duo to take center stage, as rock stars, even if a new alias was being used.Look forward to their newest album, launching this summer, "Nothing" for a hit track featuring Nelly Furtado.You may watch this video interview with Pharrell Williams on youtube.

We had a fantastic interview with Asher Roth along with some good laughs. He is so funny, and sweet. Later in the night he rocked our socks off to his hit song “I Love College”. It was a great night!
