Projects
NoiseTrade
Tools that allow artists to connect with their fans via free music or pay-what-you-want pricing. There is a lot of talk about what the music industry is going to be like now that you don’t have to move plastic discs to move music. NoiseTrade is making it happen.
Card Games

I am creating card games of various types and complexity. Currently, the games and mechanics are not for public disclosure, but I’m hoping to have a 1.0 of the flagship game done by the end of the year released with a DIY/Freemium model.
Writing

The things I am thinking and talking about, recorded for all the world. The number of words required to express the idea determines where I post it.
