Dylan Casey - My view of the world




Welcome to my corner of the interweb. I like to post here about stuff I'm interested in like music, gadgets, hacks and the occasional random thought. You can read what the internets have to say about me here. I used to race bikes with the US Postal Service Professional Cycling team before hanging up my wheels to join the product team at Google. I don't race much anymore but I work with Team Specialized and mentor the juniors. Currently I spend time working at Path when I'm not tinkering with other projects or restoring my 1966 Mustang. I'm passionate about gadgets, bikes, mobile, social, and fighting cancer. You can reach me at dylan at dylancasey dot com. Check out my latest interests: The Fancy, Turntable.FM and Path.

Room of the Week: Funk and Soul Cave

Funk soul brother….

turntable-fm:

If you ever find yourself in the mood for some groovy tunes, you should stop by the Funk and Soul Cave! Knowledgeable music heads are always hanging out trying to out spin each other and are more than willing to teach the newcomer everything they need to know about the funk.

$$mailman$$: hey
HumpDayFunk: hi jess. :)
jessipedia: how’s it going?
jessipedia: everyone ready for some interviewing?


jessipedia: So, how did everyone get into funk and soul music? Was there a first time that you knew this music was for you?
