At Rain (the company I work for) we just helped develop some pretty exciting new software for learning piano for a client of ours: PianoMarvel. It’s a subscription based software solution that allows you to learn with your MIDI keyboard and a computer at your own pace. The brilliance of it is that it makes practice time more goal-oriented, requiring certain scores to move on to the next lesson. This makes practice time fun with the user trying again and again to improve their score. It also is great for parents and teachers who need to track student’s practice time, emailing them reports of hours logged.

Just a silly song that I wrote to my son because I was bored and which won’t make any sense unless you happen to be a programmer that works at Rain.

Some friends introduced me to the these classic video tributes to Porkins here and here. His nobility brought me to tears and inspired this song - a tribute to his sacrifice in the Battle of Yavin.

They type of song with lyrics that would get me in trouble if I really believed them. Well, at least if I believed all of them.

I’m particularly proud of the lyrics on this one. My wife couldn’t figure them out, but then again, she was born in ‘86.

This is not a commentary on my neighbors. My neighbors are such that Mr. Rogers himself would have been envious. Rather, this song is an ode to the tired zombie thriller plot.

Tami (my sister) made an interesting observation here . A very worthy discussion. Several (many thousands) have also observed similarities between myself and another pretty well-known pop icon. I think you’ll agree, the resemblance is uncanny.
