Hi everyone,
 Sorry Ive been away sooo long.Been very busy back in the studio getting ready for my "Iconic" return to the music I love so much..Anyway ,I found this incredible stor about a man I respect to the highest degree Dr Mark Dean. In many ways Dr Dean and I share the same type of shunted invisibility  based on our blessed gifts. Its well worth a read and well worth five stars in my book +++++. Many Many thanks to Tyonne D.Tabom for this incredible article

" America 's High Tech "Invisible Man"
By Tyrone D. Taborn

You may not have heard of Dr. Mark Dean. And you aren't alone. But almost everything in your life has been affected by his work.

See, Dr. Mark Dean is a Ph.D. from Stanford University . He is in the National Hall of Inventors. He has more than 30 patents pending. He is a vice president with IBM. Oh, yeah. And he is also the architect of the modern-day personal computer. Dr. Dean holds three of the original nine patents on the computer that all PCs are based upon. And, Dr. Mark Dean is an African American.

So how is! it that we can celebrate the 20th anniversary of the IBM personal computer without reading or hearing a single word about him? Given all of the pressure mass media are under about negative portrayals of African Americans on television and in print, you would think it
would be a slam dunk to highlight someone like Dr. Dean.

Somehow, though, we have managed to miss the shot. History is cruel when it comes to telling the stories of African Americans. Dr. Dean isn't the first Black inventor to be overlooked Consider John Stanard, inventor of the refrigerator, George Sampson, creator of the clothes dryer,
Alexander Miles and his elevator, Lewis Latimer and the electric lamp.
All of these inventors share two things:

One, they changed the landscape of our society; and, two, society relegated them to the footnotes of history. Hopefully, Dr. Mark Dean won't go away as quietly as they did. He certainly shouldn't. Dr. Dean helped start a Digital Revolution that created people like Microsoft's Bill Gates and Dell Computer's Michael Dell. Millions of jobs in information technology can be traced back directly to ! Dr. Dean.

More important, stories like Dr. Mark Dean's should serve as inspiration for African-American children. Already victims of the "Digital Divide" and failing school systems, young, Black kids might embrace technology with more enthusiasm! if they knew someone like Dr. Dean already was leading the way.

Although technically Dr.. Dean can't be credited with creating the computer -- that is left to Alan Turing, a pioneering 20th-century English mathematician, widely considered to be the father of modern computer science -- Dr. Dean rightly deserves to take a bow for the machine we use today. The computer really wasn't practical for home or small business use until he came along, leading a team that developed the interior architecture (ISA systems! bus) that enables multiple devices, such as modems and printers, to be connected to personal computers.

In other words, because of Dr. Dean, the PC became a part of our daily lives . For most of us, changing the face of society would have been enough. But not for Dr. Dean.. Still in his early forties, he has! a lot of inventing left in him.

He recently made history again by leading the design team responsible for creating the first 1-gigahertz processor chip.. It's just another huge step in making computers faster and smaller. As the world congratulates itself for the new Digital Age brought on by the personal computer, we need to guarantee that the African-American story is part of the hoopla surrounding the most stunning technological advance the world has ever seen.. We cannot afford to let Dr. Mark Dean become a footnote in history. He is well worth his own history book.

At one point in my life I had been so penniless , broke, utterly without and money. Would you believe it was the greatest experience of my life !! Not only did I find out who my real friends where ( and believe me it was an eye opener for me to realize just how few friends I really had ) It also helped me find my true self and my own personal "Magic". You see , when a person reaches rock bottom he or she has only two options, give up or start climbing.
True its a long way down and its dark when you are destitute and beaten to a pulp. The world seems as though it has all but forgotten you and it feels as though even your faith has deserted you..TRUST me I know how it feels x100 to the power of infinity.

  Yet within those most depressing times I found an incredible light hidden deep within myself .A light so powerful that I was overwhelmed and confused as to how I it had gone un-noticed within me for so long. The feeling of shedding all the past pain and getting off my proverbial ass and doing something meaningful with my life became a huge chorus line of voices that have lead me all the way back from the brink of absolute destruction. I went from  within days of loosing my home and everything I had worked so hard for to listening to my heart and reaching my personal promise land.

 I point is ..forget the past ,listen to your heart and follow your guiding light..even when you think its the end..its usually a whole new beginning.
Now this may not make a whole lot of sense to alot of you out there.But to the small percentage of you who are feeling the bottom of the barrel I just wanted you to know you are not alone.Keep looking to the sky ..DONT GIVE UP and stay focused, You will succeed in everything you trully wish for ...just follow your heart and keep the sun on your face !! and whatever you do Dont look back !!!
