There are a couple of services that are really important to my life and my business. One of them is Tumblr and the other is Evernote. In promoting Evernote for example I often tell people that if Microsoft buys it I will retire. That is because it has become so important to my work flow and…

Have you heard of IndieFlix? Well it’s time you learn. Basically, it’s like Netflix but even better because it’s geared towards Independent filmmakers. Not only is it a great place to watch awesome festival quality films, but it’s a great place to submit your film to be distributed as well! IndieFlix contacted me about doing a little giveaway to spread the word about their new service. We’ll be giving out ten 2-month FREE subscriptions to anyone who likes and reblogs this post! (make sure you have some form of contact on your tumblr /ask box works fine so we can notify you if you win). Winners will be chosen at random in a week, GO GO GO!In the meantime check out this free doc, findingkind.

Enjoy!-Stephen

BRONX HIP-HOP COLLECTIVE TO LAUNCH A ‘RADICAL’ LIBRARY FOR YOUTH
MOTT HAVEN — Rappers feed off great beats, but they’re nourished by great books.
That’s one message the hip-hop-centric Rebel Diaz Arts Collective hopes to convey to local youth with a community library they will soon run out of their headquarters in a former candy factory by the Bruckner Expressway.
“I tell them, ‘The more you read, the iller you’ll be as an emcee,’” said Rodrigo Venegas, aka Rodstarz, one-third of the rap crew, Rebel Diaz, and a founding member of the cultural collective with an activist bent.
The roughly 20-member collective has partnered with Bluestockings, the independent Lower East Side bookstore, to amass about 300 mostly donated books on radical politics, Hispanic and black history and hip hop.
By erecting the small library in the same space where it hosts monthly hip-hop open mic nights that draw rising rappers and their fans from across the city, the collective is trying to convince these young people that the slickest rhymers are often also the sharpest readers.
“If we make it cool to read books in the South Bronx,” Venegas said, “then it’s a victory.”
The Richie Perez Radical Library, named for a South Bronx educator and activist who died in 2004, combines works by influential thinker-agitators, such as Angela Davis and Malcolm X, with writings by hip-hop luminaries including KRS-One, the RZA and Jay-Z.
