Over a year ago I wrote about my friend Neva: I wasn’t living in Long Beach when Melissa Etheridge made her breakthrough playing locally at a club called Que Sera on 7th Street (funny that her wikipedia article doesn’t mention Que Sera), but every time I come out and watch Neva I think I’m seeing …
Part of my course at Full Sail is about media issues, you know, stuff like Copyright, Fair Use and Creative Commons. The “M” in our program title (EMDT) is Media and my students, who are in their ninth month of a year long Masters degree program, are expected to stare down this huge subject and …
I know something is up when I get a link to the same artist from several completely different sources in one day. Earlier today fellow web-voyager, Linda, sent me a link with the subject line: “Interesting music videos.” Ah, understatement. I loaded the video off of the artists’ site and thought something was wrong ’cause …
I was bitching last week about feeling like the only one I knew using the ‘Net to connect with family, so my sister surprised me this morning with this amazing photo of my nephew, Danny, on stage playing with his band. It’s a friggin’ awesome photo. Now that’s what I’m talking about, as far as …
I’m so happy that my friend, Neva, has finished her CD, One of these Days, and now my other friends can enjoy a little taste of what I’ve been enjoying from NevaMusic! I say a little taste because the CD’s six tracks are closer to being an EP than full length CD. I guess the …

You can hear the rumble of the crowd and at first the stage seems a bit empty with her standing solo on acoustic guitar. But she charges through with such power and honesty… I miss the girl…
I’ve been watching the Olympics over the past week and I’ve been “feeling the love,” global style. Funny thing is when the NBC AM news shows do their profiles from China they tend to talk about China as if they’ve just discovered something new. Anyway, all of this positive vibe made me think about global …
Just “went” to a “screening” in Second Life of video projects created by Full Sail students. I’m intrigued by the idea of hanging around and chatting with friends and students in the virtual space and amused at how one of my my WoW loving coworkers belittles the experience. This was the first time I’d been …
Did something completely unexpected today. I saw that tickets for a October 21st Alanis Morissette concert were going on sale and in the process of checking out which tickets were available I ended up buying a pair of tickets. Given my horrendous fortunes in the past finding companions to share “the concert experience” with one …
