I'm currently working on research for a few projects that I have in the works. One being my daily job at Toledo School for the Arts as their Technical Director. I have also been helping my friend Dylan Wise out with getting his second season of podcast up and running on a new server and acting a sounding board for his show Tell Me Something I Want To Hear. If you don't subscribe to the show I would recommend checking it out. {

I am also working on some new concepts for my own blog, "I'm Not Small, I'm Travel Size…" My goal is to starting getting actual content up instead of just posting a lot of random nonsense… Or the LACK there of… However, Time has really been a problem for me as of late. If you weren't aware my primary JOB is keeping me quite busy. In fact there was about 2 months that I worked 7 days a week and for about a month i was averaging about 60 to 70 hours a week, which finally this week I'm sorta comping some of that time and re-grouping.
Working on this sort of level and jumping from show to show has been a real stretch and growth for me in my craft thou. I have learning to become a lot faster turning out product and going from conception to cremation…
I am also doing an ever increasing amount of video / audio production work. Surprisingly a lot more video than audio… I'm researching instruments, recording programs, live applications, all of which I'm setting the stage for a solo/duet project I will be working with D. Wise on as well as using some of the equipment the enhance and challenge the way I do what I do at TSA.
I've recently been re-acquainted with DJing and Mashups and a lot of my "musical project" is planned to involve a great deal of my own love for the art of remixing as well as some of my own Sound Design work. Most of my recording carrer has involved a very linear process of recording, mixing, and editing so I'm hoping to learn a great deal by going out on a limb and buying Ableton Live as my main format for the project.
Gear Wish List as of Late:
Ableton Live 8 Suite
MAX for Live
Akai APC 40
M-Audio Axiom 25
KRK VXT 8 Powered Monitors and Sub
Tripple Head To Go
13" MacBook Pro
If anyone is feeling generous… Or like they need to buy me a 9 month early birthday present, shoot me a text and we can work something out.
On a completely unrelated note, It's getting warm in OHIO and I'm getting the bike building bug, so you can tack a new custom fixed gear onto that wish list as well.
