nitrocircus.com launches

I just launched something that I have been living and breathing for the last 2 months. This revolutionary Flash 3D engine and web site (www.nitrocircus.com) allows Flash elements to move naturally for the first time in 3D space. It uses a true 3D calculation engine for positioning and sizing of elements and it even includes distance-based illumination which adds to the illusion of depth. Every corner of this site is handcrafted to capture the quirky reckless rawness of the Nitro Circus brand and its unusual, colorful personalities (you have to see their DVDs to understand this site). The center of attention is Travis Pastrana, a superstar in the motocross and extreme sports world. He's the only guy in history to ever land a double back flip on a motorcycle. I went way over budget on this and enjoyed every minute of it.

Break Free Vocal Studio

My wife has been taking Speech Level Singing for over a year and has decided to start training to be certified SLS instructor. She has just christened a new studio complete with an amp, guitars, microphone, and keyboard. She will also be attending a 10 day SLS workshop in Los Angeles where she will rub shoulders with Seth Riggs (the inventor of this method) and other music industry greats. She has been asking me to prepare a logo for her venture for some time and I finally completed it. I am also her first student. I have been studying for a few months now and it is amazing how my voice has improved. I have never been a good singer, but lately I am starting to think I could be.

Father 15

Just completed 15 years of being a father. This lovely noggin ornamentational embellishment was expertly crafted by one of my beloved offspring. Being a father is awesome. Very satisfying. My kids are growing up fast and I am getting more clueless as I get older, but they tell me that's normal.
