With everyone from Blac Chyna to Steph Curry coming up with their own popular emojis, the original emoji providers are stepping up their game. The Unicode Consortium — aka Emoji Headquarters — officially unveiled 72 new emojis this week, scheduled for delivery later this month. I’m impressed by the quick turnaround, because, in the past,…
RIP, Prince
Devastating! Another icon gone too soon. Prince June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016 Embed from Getty Images Just yesterday, I’d been reassured about Prince’s health after reading that he’d appeared before fans on Saturday to show them that he was okay after being hospitalized for the flu.

Musical Interlude: Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus
