Things at Raidious are never dull. We are currently working on a project that involves an interview with Indianapolis Colts player Pierre Garcon. Matt Chandler was kind enough to put together a behind the scenes video and blog post detailing the day. I have a brief cameo at 00:15. Enjoy!
In November of 2009 I “got out of the hospital.”
Since 2003 I had been under the employ of Community Health Network. As a member of the Business Development Division’s e-Business team, I saw my role evolve from web designer to Director of New Media. It was a great experience – professionally I met bounds of great people and learned a lot from both team members and leadership. Personally, I started my family while working there, and enjoyed the friendship of a great work family. I would not be where I am today without that experience.
I now find myself as Vice President of Operations at Raidious. I could not ask for a more perfect opportunity: I am working with a great team in an exploding field, I get to wear jeans to the office (when I’m there), we all use macs, and we have an office downtown.
In my new role at Raidious, I will get to do what I do best: put the pieces together. The past three months have already taught me a great deal about what it takes to build a company, and what it takes to deliver great work. We are not only starting a new company, we are inventing a new business.
Building a company doesn’t leave much time for other pursuits, including updating my own website apparently. I still have some personal projects in the hopper, but I will be closing off some others. It is my noble intention to keep this site updated with progress on all things big and small in 2010.
Raidious - Raidious will be creating some amazing things in 2010 for some amazing companies, subscribe to the company blog to get lots of updates on what we are doing and how we do it.
Music Videos - I had started a series of posts on making a music video, but the project stalled shortly after. I will be publishing my second and last post in that series as a bookend to the project, perhaps to be picked back up at a later date. I am still working on another music video project, with a time-line yet to be determined.
iPhone Apps – I cannot stop thinking of ideas for iPhone and now iPad apps. A colleague of mine and I have some cool stuff in the works – stay tuned. I did, however, help launch the Standard Recording Company’s new iPhone app. You can download it here.
RockitBomb.com – RockitBomb is pretty much over. I may do some mixes or quick episodes again someday, but don’t expect much. RockitBomb.TV was a great pilot project, but is being shelved to make room for work that keeps food on the table. You can catch old episodes of the podcast in the RockitBomb category on this site, and watch some of the video shot for RockitBomb.TV on my vimeo channel.
Thin Fevers – We are still working on new material. Expect to hear some new stuff in 2010, or at least one new song. We recently released some new material for free, and we are currently working on new stuff.

Earlier in 2009, my friends Annie and Andy from A2 Industries had the great idea to start work on a video podcast. We decided to call it RockitBomb.TV, as I was tiring of playing around with audio podcasting, and had always wanted to collaborate on a video project.
We shot three pilot episodes, the first of which was an interview with Tim Barry, formerly of Avail. We got to sit down with Tim for an interview, the folks at NationalUnderground.org were kind enough to lend us some archival footage, and we got footage of Tim performing two great songs at Local’s Only in Indianapolis.
Special thanks to Those Young Lions, NationalUnderground.org, and A2 for working with me on this project, the “as final as it is going to get” cut is below for your viewing pleasure:
In 2008, I went to the State Fair.
I saw many things.
I saw many things I wanted to post to Twitter.
I had intended these to be tweets from the state fair, but things where happening too rapidly, so I spoke them into Jott. Now it is 2009, and another trip has been made. This year I was too busy witnessing the sheer joy of a 4 year old on the Tilt a Whirl to pay any attention to the other ridiculousness, so I will share my observations from the past.
Anyway, here we go, love ‘em or leave ‘em.
“Hey fair band – we don’t need the bios of the whole band, save it for your Wikipedia page” – This actually turned into a funny idea for my wife’s “Save it for your blog” shirts.
“Fat kids at the fair.” - Enough Said.
“Favorite part of the fair? They guy yelling “HEY!” at a crowd of thousands of people and expecting his friend to respond.”
“I am so glad that we picked High School Cheerleader day to come to the fair.”
“A lady just referred to the giant pig in the pig barn as “some sausage”"
“Excuse me sir, you weigh 450 lbs, easy. Maybe the Mountain Dew isn’t such a good idea.”
“High School kids are playing the pick up the duck game… and they don’t get it. Pick up a duck. Pick out a prize. It is for 3 year olds.”
Next year I will try to be a bit quicker on the draw. I did manage to tweet out that MC Hammer was playing though.
Last week I volunteered to help out with SmallerIndiana.com‘s Bigger Ideas conference in downtown Indianapolis. My friend PK and I seem to be getting in the habit of producing event journalism around town. PK ran the camera while I ran around and gathered up people to be interviewed by Indianapolis meteorologist Paul Poteet.
Paul and PK where great to work with, and we got some great interviews with some amazing people at the event.
