I'm an artist, photographer and musician living in Santa Barbara County, California. I have several music projects including "Jaws", a rock project with former and current members of RKL, Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut, Mad Caddies, King City & others. I also have a solo project tentatively called "1976". I record in my home studio which consists of gear & instruments I've collected in the past couple decades. Sometimes I produce, record, mix and write songs for other artists and friends. I shoot pictures using my Mamiya 6, Nikons D70 & F100 and a variety of esoteric 120 & 35mm film cameras (Agfa, Braun, Holga, Lomo). I also shoot moving pictures on a Canon HV20 and on my collection of 8mm cameras. I'm involved with several Websites/RSS feeds. A few of them are Liberation Media, Jaws Attacks!, Drunken Audible and SharkyTowers.com.

Fios TV

I just ordered Fios TV from Verizon. Hands down the best cable picture, channel lineup customer support I’ve ever had from a telco. Verizon Fios SHREDS. I’m using their set-top box in my bedroom and a couple cable cards with my Tivo Series 3 in the living room. The DVR is just okay-ish. It’s no TIVO, but not much else is. The Internet service was already known to me to be spectacular and I’m happy to have the cable service as well. It’s been available in Malibu for about 3 weeks now. If you live in an area that has Fios you should do yourself a tremendous favor and switch.
