TechCrunch Interview with Jeff Ma

TechCrunch Interview with Jeff Ma

We came across an interesting interview with Jeff Ma, who you may recognize as a member of the infamous MIT blackjack team that the movie “21” was based off of. It is interesting to note that the main character was loosely based off of him, and was portrayed by a Caucasian actor. From there, Ma went on to co-founder a sports start-up, Citizen Sports, which Yahoo acquired this past March.

In this video interview, Ma discusses everything from blackjack, to the new Facebook movie (based on a book written by the same author who wrote Bringing Down The House, Ben Mezrich, whom Ma knows well), his Yahoo deal, as well as Ma’s own book, The House Advantage: Playing the Odds to Win Big In Business. It is definitely worth the watch for any of you interested in starting up your own business.

Jay Park breakdancing and fan club

In Jay Park’s latest video he shows a complication of clips of his breakdancing. He’s been showing a mix of singing and dancing clips teasing his fans. Last week, the guy signed with Ned Sherman to represent him globally.

Jay Park also talks about his fan club. Althougn the name “bumblebees” won as the name for his fans, Jay Park overrode the consensus to dub his fans the Jaywalkers. As a group, they’ll be known as the Jay Effect.
At channelAPA.com, we’ve experienced first hand what the Jay Effect can do. Just take alook at our first post about him (Nothing on You by Jay Park (aka Jae-beom from 2PM)).

A while ago, channelAPA.com had a chance to chat with Jaden Hair of SteamyKitchen. She is one of the top food bloggers online. Her twitter account has over 50k subscribers. She is self taught from cooking to website development to food photography to social media marketing. You can see her handy work on her site steamykitchen.com. Her food photography skills are impressive. (No industry tricks involved.)

We were definitely impressed with her skills. Jaden is definitely passionate about what she does. From the interview, you can can tell she’s a fun person to hang with too. Her non-traditional approach to marketing herself and her site has flipped the food industry on its head. It’s amazing to see her multimedia approach and how she’s driven to grow her business. Look for more big things coming soon from her. She’s already got her own cookbook, The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook. (Check out athe recipe for Firecracker Shrimp) She’s already writing for TLC and has been on the Today Show and The Early Show too. Could TV be next for her? Someone give her a TV Show. (Where are Food Network’s Asian Girls and Boys?)
