Added Google Checkout to In-Box Jewels

What to most people has been described even by Google to be a three-step process has taken me most of the week.  Victory!  You can now donate conveniently to In-Box Jewels and djGoddessa if the Spirit moves you through Google Checkout.  After signup, linking, installing, verifying, etc., then doing it all again because something was not linked properly, there’s a bright, shiny new Donate to In-Box Jewels widget.  Who will be the very first one to share some love so we can discover how well this works?

Next, I found a nifty plugin to Windows Livewriter that automatically put the Facebook “Like” button on this blog.  Not sure if I like it yet.  What do you think?  That did not last long because it took out the Google Friend Connect wizard.  Now, an update at 10:54 on Friday, Friend Connect is back, going to try to reinstall the “like” button and see if everything still plays nicely together.

Osunlade 'Pyrography' Album Teaser Video

Dear Family,

It's your Undercover Grandmother (how do you like my new name) scouring the Internet for music for your listening pleasure.  Today's "In-Box Jewel" is from none other than my Home Boy (yes, we both were born in St. Louis, Missouri, a few years apart [ahem] Osunlade.  "Pyrography" was officially released on the 15th. I'm nine days late, but Osunlade continues to spice up Funk Sanctum Radio and the Planet. This one album is singlehandedly raising my station's vibrations. If you do not listen to any other recommendations from me, buy "Pyrography."  You will love this music.

NEWS RELEASE
YORUBA RECORDS PRESENTS:
‘PYROGRAPHY’ ~ CD& LIMITED EDITION BOOK

"Worldwide, May 16, 2011,YORUBA RECORDS PRESS RELEASE:

Osunlade has embarked on what is to be the greatest achievement of his career. One would think that being a gold and platinum selling producer and creating one of the most respected recording labels in the world (Yoruba Records) would be enough. But the highest level of success is when you can give back to the creators who blessed you with the gift the world loves.
'Pyrography’ is that gift. It is the junction where music and art become one manifesting into an incredible CD and Limited Collection Book. This Limited Edition Book and CD contains the art of Scott Marr and music from Osunlade. Together, they have created a new view of the Yoruba Orisha deities to accompany the sound and feel of the music. The word pryography translates to ‘painting with fire’ and all the works are composed in this ancient fashion. It is a 12 x 12 inch hard cover book bound with leaf paper and features the first ever published Oriki's (traditional Yoruba prayers) printed on a special Japanese haiku type paper from Nepal.
