Sorry for the delay in responding.

Life is very good, while business has been interminably slow and frustrating. The recession has hit advertising particularly hard, and since the majority of my clients are advertising agencies, my revenues are waaay off. Meanwhile, during the slowdown, we've finished building our new facility, and I took the time to write some new songs, shoot some video, and taught myself a video editing program. I've got a new Apple G4 computer that, given the right peripheral gear and know-how, enables one to take a music and video project from concept to an actual DVD--all done on my desktop. Unbelievably powerful technology we now have at our disposal.

To do what I've described above used to cost some $300+/hr in a multi-million dollar facilty, but can now be performed (largely) using technology costing less than $7000 and in the comfort of my office.

We live in remarkable times.

Life treating you well?
