Hieroglyphics.com Turns 20 Years Old
As a junior in high school in 1995, I had randomly discovered the modem buried in our family’s Packard Bell PC which until this point was nothing more than a glorified word processor and an excuse to play the X-Wing videogame. It was a random moment with my father, who nonchalantly logged into a CompuServe chat room one evening and…
Long Live Hieroglyphics.Com!
I save a lot of stuff. I have backups of backups of gifs, videos, Photoshop PSD’s, you name it. And occasionally I will search for one thing, and come upon a treasure trove of Other Things. Such was the case earlier today when I stumbled upon the files that amounted to my departure from the site I created and maintained between…
End of the Mayan Calendar: BBR – 2013
Here’s a track I produced and recorded with Philadelphia’s BBR (Big Brother Resistance) back in 1999. The track is all about what layes beyond the fabled end of the Mayan Calendar: December 21st, 2012 (which happens to be today’s date, as I post this).

BBR Sessions (1998-1999) – Free Album Download
Between 1998-1999, I was a member of the Philadelphia-based group, BBR: Big Brother Resistance. We were a politically-charged and socially-minded hiphop group focusing strongly on technology, the media, politics, and the control and abuse of information by corrupt corporations. It was me on production as Binyameen and occasionally “Stinke”, and MCs Tim T and PCP. I produced all of the tracks…
Hieroglyphics, Souls of Mischief, Del The Funky Homosapien Pics from 1997
I was going through some old discs and found a stash of photographs we used for the Hiero Emporium online store redesign on Hieroglyphics.com back in 1997. Thought I’d share em cause they’re pretty nice. All photographs are the property of Jacob Rosenberg. Ya’ll know Saucee Jake: He can be heard on Del’s “Pet Peeves” getting hyphy on Del. Jacob…
