Howdy. I'm Justin Boland.

I work for World-Around Records. We're a startup company and I'm working 16 hour days to keep up. It's hard work because there's no road map, but I love what I do. Audible Hype is a platform for me to share everything I'm learning. I believe that open source works better than selfish prick, and I believe that empowering other independent musicians will do more to improve our culture than me keeping this information to myself.

I'm also a rapper, which is obviously why I started a record label. My original group, Wombaticus Rex, is ending this summer and my new outlets are Algorhythms (with Dr. Quandary) and my sex party rap project, Humpasaur Jones.

On good days, I am interested in everything in the Universe. I've written for a lot of websites and I still do. I work for Back Brain Media, and I run Brainsturbator, Skilluminati Research and of course Hump Jones, our sex education program.

• Review of Cory Doctorow’s “Little Brother”

  I'm very interested in this book...it's available free but I'm never reading another book in PDF format, too hard on the eyes and the soul. Tactical resistance to the police state, related in operational detail, formatted as an adventure novel for teenagers of all ages...this could be pretty big.

• Mark Pesce back in peak form “Sharing = Hyperconnectivity”

  This was badass, reminded me of his face-burners like Bios and Logos.

• MIT Gives (Technological) Reasons for Hope

  An interesting read...I always wonder how to bridge the gap between that hopeful horizon and right now, but that's just me. Pessimist, cynic, logical. FIGHT TO KEEP CLEAN ENERGY FREE. If there's a meter attached, fight back.

• Dreaming 5GW: Invisible War

  As you can probably tell by the tone of the article, this is my swan song for the 5GW Project. It's not that I'm bored with warfare, it's just that I'm headed in a far larger and weirder direction and it's time to stop stepping on toes.

• The IMF is Near Death—Let’s Help Complete the Process

  Burn the Vampire, Burn the Vampire, and Burn the Vampire. This concludes my socially conscious yet cheerfully anarchist commentary.

• SEEDBOMBS: Re-Forest Africa and Save the World

  Worth it just for the graphic -- you will be amazed how huge Africa really is. It's also a very fertile meme, and worth some comtemplation.

• NEW KEY 64 MATERIAL

  A great crop, bummed I didn't finish in time to make it in. An unusually strong offering from Key 64, a lot of excellent tactical/operational brainfood.
