Suddenly I Found Myself an Innovator

Bill Gates retired from his daily role at Microsoft.
NPR reports that he will turn his attention to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation instead, "focusing on poverty, education and global health."
"Once you improve health in a country, it really changes everything," Gates said. "Parents don't need to have this many children to be sure that someone will support them in their old age. And so population growth goes down. You can feed, you can educate, you can provide jobs."

As Gates moves to a full-time role at the foundation, he embarks on what may be described as his second life. His first life was at Microsoft, bringing computers to the masses. His second life is just beginning: as the world's leading philanthropist.
Wow. Meanwhile,

Innnnnteresting, and KOBD.

Congrats to James.


Santogold's promos for MTV's Artist of the Week:

I'm not IN LOVE the creative for the other clips, but I was at the show where the live footage clips were shot. She sold me that night, and now I'm just glad our golden girl is getting a little shiiiine.


And lastly, if you haven't heard it yet...

Nas' "Sly Fox" just blew my mind.
Thanks to Mega for the heads up.
