Back when I was popular

The most downloaded show I've ever made was this one, a totally non-hiphop mixtape style thing I made about two years ago. People still ask me where the file is, how can they get it, etc., so I figured I'd make it available.

So Akon’s prison time was entirely fabricated… now what?

The backstory is simple-- Akon, who has sold a ton of albums (3 million of his second album, according to the story) has claimed this whole time that he spent three and a half years in prison for being the leader of a notorious car theft ring that focused on Porsches, BMWs, etc. etc. Problem is, it never happened.

Taxicab fares: A theory

After being in one too many rushing taxi cabs I am beginning to think the way cab drivers's rates are set up is a bit skewed. Don't get me wrong - it's a very simple system, and simplicity is a very important value. I think right now it's 1.40$ per kilometre and 40 cents per minute of waiting time. A cab, while driving, makes more money by driving than he does by waiting, per minute, considering he can drive more than 1 km in a minute (notwithstanding the price of gas). Not only this, but the faster he completes that km, the faster he gets his money and picks up another fare to recklessly speed his way to his destination.
