Lytle Animal Care & Control – Making a Big Difference.
Recently, a member in the community of Lytle, TX whom aids in the adoption of sheltered animals contacted me about a video they were working on. They’d come across one of my songs through one of the creative commons music networks I distribute my music to. It was requested that the song “To Love Again” [...]

Google Anatomy… A Reality?
Last May I posted here about a letter I’d sent to Google back in October of 2008 regarding the idea of creating a map of the human body, similar to Google Earth. Well… it’s here, it’s BETA & requires Google Chrome BETA (HTML 5 support) – but it is WAY WAY AMAZING! The best part [...]

The Moment of Truth: Report of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform
The following is the preamble to today’s released “Report of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform”. The guts of the report are here.

Office Cubicle Trash Bags: A Simple Pollution Solution
Every evening in my workplace, shortly after 5PM, the Jani-King feller with his headphones on, comes by and strips the white plastic bag (empty or not) from the little industrial plastic trash can in my office cubicle.

Happy 4th friends! I’m so excited today is the release of my very first music video. It’s a new song titled “Everything Has Meaning”… although it’s fast becoming nicknamed “little brown guy”. I hope you enjoy it. Have a safe and happy holiday. Peace & Love.

The unfortunate thing is that in general, people don’t realize this… and what’s worse is that the media crafts it this way intentionally. There’s a thing that [...]
