Audio/video editor, compositor and web communities architect. Publisher of Creative COW Magazine. Wishes he could be half as cool as the guys in the YouTube video posted here on his profile. These guys make polyester proud to be turned into clothing. They make hats proud to be worn. They make women glad to be women and men wish they could be as cool. Once Hollywood discovers these guys, everyone will wear pants like this. John Travolta once stole his best moves from these guys so he could hit the dance floor. He would admit it, too.

Comments and Things Worth Noting: Why is it the ones who argue loudest for their own free speech rights are the ones who are fastest to dismiss what others say and want to shut them up? Go figure.
Thanks for the invite Ron. I just got my copy of the Cow Newsletter and read your sweet words about your father. Your father sounds like a great guy (I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...). I want to express my deepest condolences. I lost my mom earlier this year, and while it's not the same as losing a father, the family bonds are deeper as we grow older. Take solace that your dad will always be a part of your world.
