Brevity: The Business Song

November 20, 2008

I still do loads of jingles, even though the work load piles on, I am really happy when I go back and take a listen to some of the ones I have done.

I did one for a really great company called Brevity. They do a lot for small business, and you should go check them out.

The cool thing is that their website opens with a movie that is animated to a jingle I wrote called The Business Song. It is witty, wordy, and very inspiring I think. Its a bit “inside baseball”, but I think you get the idea of how this is a cool thing for a website to have. I was proud to be a part of this process.

Here is a screenshot of some of the scenes.

My Ustream Concert

November 12, 2008

Last night I invited hundreds personally into my living room. Well, virtually.

Yes, it was another one of my streaming live shows on Ustream.tv. My friend Rick Yaeger reminded me that it was a year ago Nov 11th, that I did an accidental live show from my studio. I twittered that I was writing and recording in my studio, and before you knew it, I had hundreds of people show up in the Ustream chat room and request songs. Thus setting the ground for more live streaming all request shows that I have been doing over the past year. I never really have a set plan, I just do them when I feel like it, but they are always fun and people are soooooo amazing and kind when they show up to watch me interact with them.

Dave Moyer even wrote such a kind blog about it here.

So did the MacMommy as she described how she and her son danced the night away while they watched my show. Read about that here.

Here is the show from last night

Broadcasting Live with Ustream.TV

Here is what it looked like with me playing along and interacting with the chatroom

9th Bonus Track Relased

November 8, 2008

I have just released the ninth update to the Ones and 0s album which is a first time release of  “Foot In Your Door”.

 

I actually did this song in just one day last year. I woke up, wrote and recorded it. Took a lunch break and then mixed it and finished it - I hope you like it.

 

To get the update just check your Ones and 0s podcast in iTunes and refresh. The new track should be downloading right away, do drop us a line if you face any issues.

 
Extra material will also be available for download for the Ones and 0s subscribers.

My iYule App was on Conan O’Brien

October 28, 2008

Holy Cow!!!! Conan O’Brien just did a hilarious bit about countdown clocks and one of the gags featured the iYule.

Cali Lewis, Paul Colligan, and I made iYule last Christmas, which is a great little video of the Yule Log and Christmas music that works on iPhones, iPods, Zunes, Apple TVs, etc.

And while I have a moment to plug it, iYule is still ready for your holidays. Get one, and portions of proceeds help some of our favorite charities.

Check out the segment on Conan
