Dear loyal cohorts,

Its that time of the month again when I feel it important to share personal developments. Today let me highlight a couple of recent developments.

I've been working with some really kick ass companies lately < check out beamback.tv> I suspect you will be hearing a lot about them in the coming months. Also, I will be meeting soon with 1st Avenue Machine - they make awesome music videos and commercials. So work has been going strong and I am happy with all the hardwork I've put in during the last 18 months.

Life: Turkey day was spent out in Long Island with a college buddy and his family ( this was my third t-day with his family). I haven't been back to Marin to see my own family in a year now. Its kind of sad, but I also feel like its important to branch out and see things on their own merit. In this manner I am seeing both the positive and negative of isolation. I love the freedom of New York (afterall its been over 5 years now), but I am almost regretting the strain it has caused on my mother and father.

Luckily everyone is in good health. But you never know when things could change. Fortunately my parents, brother and two sisters have been great about seeing me at every opportunity. Living out here has made it much easier to communicate. Since I am not around there isn't really anything that we can fight about, so home life has become a passive activity.

Thursday, December 7th I will leave for Istanbul, Turkey; Tbilisi, Georgia; Baku, Azerbaijan and perhaps Yerevan, Armenia. Should be a good month.
I'll try to keep everyone updated. Hopefully I will not be killed by Chechnyian Rebels or Russia KGB spies. If so I promise not to text message anyone ever again.
