Finally. I cleaned up the layout, so everything has a lot more whitespace. There are several new sections as well. Check out the new Lyrics section under Music to read up on some of my songs. Also under Music, you can leave comments on my tracks via SoundCloud.
And under Contact you can send me a note or even some music in my Dropbox. Hot hot hot!
Here’s some live video of myself performing with Katie Nelson and Lynn Graber at Murray Hill Theatre in Jacksonville, FL. Great venue, great friends, great times. Video service provided by SyncLive.

Alright peeps, check it: my friend Aaron Heise made a sweet tip calculator app for the iPhone a few weeks back and it’s officially available on iTunes now. It really is “impressively simple” as he claims. No whiz-bang whirlygigs, just plain old useful tip calculation. You can click here to buy it on iTunes for a mere 99 cents or just search for ‘Aaron Heise’ to find it. For more about the app visit the micro site Aaron has put up here.

When the TV stations officially switch over to digital later this month, all the old channels they’ve been broadcasting on will open up for other uses. It’s possible that your wireless audio gear will begin picking up interference and other signals as more mobile devices begin operating in that range of frequencies. The nice people at Sweetwater Sound have put together some resources to help explain the potential problems. For more information, go here: http://www.sweetwater.com/feature/wireless/
Today’s topic: Veggie Trays
The primary purpose of the veggie tray is provide hungry dinner guests with a simple-to-prepare appetizer. Veggies are served because they are healthy and every responsible host wishes to provide his/her guests with good options. The trouble is that the veggie tray is not about the veggies. No matter what good intentions may lie behind the preparation and serving of a veggie tray, the focus always becomes the dip. Regardless what type of dip is served, the veggies simply become a variety of vehicles to shovel more dip into the eaters’ faces. It struck me today (while transferring mass amounts of ranch dressing from the tray to my mouth), that while all veggies are able vehicles for dip transfer, some are obviously better than others. Below is my analysis of several veggies I sampled and their ability to carry ranch from serving dish to gullet.
Carrots
Well rounded performer. Stick formation allows for deep dipping and copious coverage. Surface texture is smooth, but enough to grip the dip. 3/5 stars.
Broccoli
The big dipper! Voids between the florets, turn this heady veg into a sauce sponge. Stem acts like built in handle. 5/5 stars.
Cherry Tomatoes
Not a team player. While delicious on their own, this slick sphere is hard to grip and sheds dip. Enjoy them sans ranch unless you’re willing to dive in after them. 1/5 stars.
Celery
Step up to the trough! Like the carrot, this stalk is easily handled and dipped, but holds a distinct advantage: the U-shape, which proves great for shoveling fattening dairy product. 4/5 stars
