WHAT STYLEZ THINKS ABOUT => “DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK!" #StylezIsBack #ItsaCelebration
Well, actually, I guess you could call it a comeback!! That’s right, I’m back and I’m hoping to be more consistent with my Blog and Tumblr postings! Let’s start from the beginning…
2011 saw the death of my father-in-law, an AMAZING, GENEROUS, KIND, PATIENT, WISE, WONDERFUL man who helped… take that back… he DID raise my children, especially the older 4 from birth!!! He was instrumental in the success, progress and stability of my family long before I even became involved with my wife in 2001! Well, all that came to an end on November 16, 2011 when Iran Milo Wasson; Grandfather, Father, Mentor, Teacher, Brother, Uncle, Friend, Confidante, Traveler, Thinker, Music Lover, Historian, etc, etc, etc; passed away from complications with colon cancer.
This began the transition, which actually began long before that, but was at that time, smack right in my face! It was the moment, my father-in-law and my own father, Alexander Williams Jr., another AMAZING, KIND, HARD-WORKING, PASSIONATE, STUBBORN yet ULTRA SMART man had been preparing me for! They were my blueprints to success as a father and leader of my family! I had to step up and do whatever it took, make sacrifices, make the right moves, etc… to raise and take care of my children the best way I could!
I asked myself for weeks… was I ready, how was I going to make this work, I had a new job, a lot of financial pressures, a business I needed to figure out what to do with… but then it happened! Jehovah stepped in! Between November 2011 and May 2012, life seemed to be on fast forward and slow motion at the same time… but things just came together! My job worked with me to make sure I could be there for my family and especially my children! My finances miraculously came together as I took on the right jobs and assignments to get what I needed, of course not all I wanted, but definitely just what I needed to get financially stable again even with substantial losses I took in 2010 and 2011! It all came together! All I could do was thank Jehovah, through his son Jesus Christ, for all the blessings I was receiving!
The rest of 2012 went quite well for my family, and even through a few struggles here and there, we came out of it renewed and strong! So with that, I felt the time was now to start reanalyzing what I was doing with my time, my goals, and my world! So what I came up with… I won’t really reveal now… but what I will say, is I’ve made some decisions (NOT resolutions), to reshape and refocus some goals and tasks that I may have neglected in 2012.
One of which is my blogging. I haven’t written a good posting since June 2012, and even before that, it was sporadic at best! So here’s my refocused goal…
- Blog, write, surmise, meditate on some THING, TOPIC, PERSON, ACTIVITY… SOMETHING! And WRITE!!!
- It may not be daily, maybe not even weekly, but try to have something out there on a semi-regular basis… just to let you all know… I’m STILL Willie Stylez… I’m STILL here… I’m STILL relevant!
And with that being said... LET’S GO!!!
And That Is What STYLEZ Thinks! What do you think? Please comment, make suggestions, or just say WELCOME BACK STYLEZ!

WHAT STYLEZ THINKS ABOUT => Google's Project Glass #AugmentedReality
So What Does STYLEZ Think?
This is TOO cool! Project Glass from Google is going to be AMAZING! The only thing that may suck about it is there's a possibility you may have to wear a contact lense along with the wireframe glasses. But if they can overcome that one negative (which for a large majority of people is an everyday thing), then it will be HUGE! Check it out!
There's gesture (presumably from the eye or head movement) activated actions that allow the user to do everything from Check-In, check the weather, activate voice actions, etc. It takes photos, and even allows you to do a sort of video share hangout (via Google+ of course). And all within a small device that is destined to be the future of augmented reality apparel! Definitely someting to get EXCITED about!
That is what Stylez thinks! What do you think?

WHAT STYLEZ THINKS ABOUT => The FALL 2012 SMARTPHONE LINEUP from VZW! #Android #HTC #Motorola #iOS
So What Does STYLEZ Think?
Recently The Boy Genius himself, Jonathan Geller at BGR (Boy Genius Report), reports that Verizon's new fall 2012 lineup is proposed to include such flagship-worthy, smartphone eye candy as:
- Samsung Galaxy S3 - Exynos Quad-core processor, 4.7" HD display
- Motorola RAZR HD - 4.3-4.7" HD display and Quad-Core processor
- HTC's yet to be named phone-tablet - 1080P HD 5" display, Quad-Core KRAIT processor and HTC Scribe Pen
- Apple iPhone 5 - redesigned body, 1080P HD 4" display and an Quad-Core A6 processor made by, get this, Samsung
First off, I'm tired of hearing about these "redesigned" Apple iPhones that always only come with a few updates and the world goes crazy! Its annoying at best. At this point in the phone game its all about the bigger and more dense, HD screens so until a REAL iPhone comes out with a screen bigger than my thumb, I don't want to hear it. At this point, Apple at least did prove with iPad 3 that its time ALL devices break the Full HD barrier!
I'm excited about the prospects of that 5" HTC model which should compete nicely with either the current or next generation Samsung Galaxy Note phone-tablet. And for anyone thinking QuadCore is unnecessary in a phone, must have never heard of (Motorola) WebTop or Ubuntu for Android. These next-gen smartphones will need laptop and desktop quality specs with the inclusion of these full desktop OS's built into their underlying ROM or app space. That's the future of mobile phones!
That is what Stylez thinks! So what will get you excited about the next-gen smarthphones? More cores, bigger screens, better Apps, etc? Let me know in the comments!

WHAT STYLEZ THINKS ABOUT => Where will Love take you!?
One of my blog sisters, Ms Nikks, recently (well about an hour ago, as I write this), wrote a post where she asked, in so many words:
Do you think you can love two people at the same time?
It was based on a quote she read:
If you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second."
So What Does STYLEZ Think?
That's a hard one! I have to say, he is partially right. I would have to say, you didn't love the 1st AS MUCH AS YOU THOUGHT, or you wouldn't have loved the 2nd. BUT, as Nikks brought out, I think it IS possible to love 2 people! You have to think about, what love is, and what makes people love one another. Love isn't a set, static, clearly defined thing! It is a dynamic emotion, shaped by life, by experience, by choices made and regrets of the heart. Love cannot be directed, sometimes it just attaches! And if you find that you are in love with 2, then you have to find what "Love Is" to you. Is it comfort, is it stabilty, is it excitement, etc. It is not easy, and there may be heartbreak at some point. But if you truly know what love is to your heart, it makes it easier to decide. Love is not easy. And you can't control where it may lead you. But YOU have to make that final decision of where you end up!
That is what Stylez thinks! What do you think?

WHAT STYLEZ THINKS ABOUT => Posterous Acquired By @Twitter ... WORSE News EVER!

Subject: Posterous has been acquired by Twitter
I’m thrilled to announce that Posterous has been acquired by Twitter! The opportunities in front of Twitter are exciting, and we couldn’t be happier to bring our technology and expertise to hundreds of millions of users around the globe. Plus, the people at Twitter are genuinely nice folks who share our vision for making sharing simpler.
Posterous Spaces will remain up and running without disruption. We’ll give users ample notice if we make any changes to the service. For users who would like to back up their content or move to another service, we’ll share clear instructions for doing so in the coming weeks.
You can find more information answers to other questions you may have here.
Thanks again and I look forward to building great things for you at Twitter.

So What Does STYLEZ Think?
I know most of you don't realize this, but Twitter as a company, is EVIL! No, they aren't Illuminati (I guess), and no they don't trip old folks, or eat babies... but love to RUIN good technology! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Twitter, the social networking site. I live for it. But Twitter the company, has a very bad habit of buying GREAT companies (Tweetdeck, BagCheck, AdGrok, etc.) and then ruining them! Or cannabilizing the talent!
It's OK for some companies I'm sure, especially when they are built on the premise of looking for the next big acquisition. But it just sucks for us regular folks looking for great software, services and apps. But then a big bully like Twitter comes along and decides the technology no longer needs to survive! I wouldn't care if they weren't so abrupt about flexing their preferences and likes and attitudes upon us (a la Apple Inc & Steve Jobs).
Case in point... TweetDeck. It was a great web service and application. Most people knew it as one of the best, if not THE BEST social network client (able to handle Twitter/Facebook/etc). But then Twitter came along, they not only cannabilized the talent, but then they forced the TweetDeck to remove signature and loved features; including long tweets and RT of any tweet. I mean the latter was a (very slight) security concern, since before Twitter got involved, we could RT anyone's tweets, including people who had locked their accounts. But to remove long tweets because you don't think people should be allowed to go outside of your small, limited box, of 140 characters is just assinine! I mean, where they do that at!? ... Oh yea... @ TWITTER! SMDH!
Anyway, I just hope Posterous workers/developers can influence some change at Twitter. But if things go the way it appears to be, we may have to say good bye to Posterous far too soon. FML!
