Take your kids to work day

Yeah, this is what I did on Take your kids to work day this week.
Problem was, the human kids wanted to take the bear home.

It almost got ugly.

Getting Some Notice

As many readers (if, indeed, I have "many" readers) may know, I've composed the theme for a Star Trek fan fiction series called Odyssey. I also composed the score for the pilot episode, and that score is the subject of a review published on "TrekWeb," a website devoted to all manner of Star Trek stuff.

I knew nothing about the review. I haven't been reading the Odyssey forums (fora?) and really have been out of touch on that subject, but I subscribe to the RSS feed from doorQ -- a gay sci-fi portal and social networking site -- and one of the folks there pointed out that the review was up on TrekWeb.

As they say, "any publicity is good publicity," but this review was actually really nice and quite positive! The reviewer, Earl Green, compared my work on a technical level as comparable to Dennis McCarthy -- the composer of much of the incidental music from Star Trek: the Next Generation, as well as the emmy award winning composer of the theme for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and the composer on the Star Trek: Generations movie. He had some very nice things to say about the theme and leitmotiv structure of the score, as well. I was really pleased about it!

If you want to give it a read, check it out here: TrekWeb And, of course, if you want to download the music, hop on over to my Music page, here.
