Darian's Story

Greetings to all my fellow Tigers and Tigerettes! I'm still involved with computers and math, only this time it's with my family. My daughter's the spitting image of me, and my son definitely takes after his mom. I give thanks to God the moment I wake up in the morning, I teach my kids to say grace before they eat, and I say a prayer every night before I go to sleep. When I attended Lincoln, I was mainly outspoken about anything computers and math. Today, I'm mainly outspoken about anything dealing with 'intellectual property' (patents, copyrights and trademarks). ("...copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen..." - Snap, "The Power", c. 1990) My favorite channels, believe it or not, are CNBC (Money Talks, The Profit, American Greed), The Weather Channel, Bloomberg, National Geographic and LinkTV. I think Yahoo, Bing, Google, and Facebook are cool. And yes Jesse Jackson was right to start some stuff about more of US being left out of Silicon Valley! Only 2% black at those companies. But just as I've mentioned earlier, if you can't be a part of someone else's trademark then make one of your own. Build your own brand! Even Spike Lee's using the Internet to keep his 40 Acres empire going with KickStarter. Burn Hollywood, burn!...Expand for more
...beyond Public Enemy. Today, we are doing just that with YouTube. Microsoft's new leader Satya Nadella has a long way to go before he can actually say he's steered the company in a new direction. The coolest computer company of all is STILL Apple. Even after Steve Jobs' passing. NWA was 25 years ago. Look at Dr. Dre now! He's sitting on top of the world from his Beats' billions. In 1989, it was the DOC. Today is more like C.O.D. Back then it was all about BDP. Today, it's all about GDP. These are ever-changing times. One of the coolest things I recently discovered about my birthdate. I share it with a very famous person. The Queen of Rock herself, Tina Turner. (November 26) More up to the minute info about, around and from me can be found on my Facebook page, keyword 'dariancummings'. My cover page is the one showing the space shuttle Endeavour hovering above Earth. Visit my page. Just like that Abe Lincoln book we got when we graduated ...I DARE YOU! There's value in each and every one of you. Stand for what is right, even if that means standing alone. Much peace and love to all of you.
