So where did the name "Floating Dogs" come from ?

As it turns out, I was/am a Peter Gabriel fan starting with his work in the English band Genesis and then subsequently as he started off as a solo artist. He ended up with a solo career and one of his albums was the soundtrack to the movie "Birdy" starring younger versions of both Matthew Modine and Nicolas Cage. I've always been a sucker for moody rather dark electronic music which P.G. used to write. Anways, there's a tune on that album called "Floating Dogs", for some reason that name stuck with me as well as the song. Maybe someday, if clearances allow I can use it as a loop on this site. In the meantime, if you are curious, go buy the record.

What is the site for ?

I want to use this space to document and write about my other passions which includes music, photograpy, surfing and my film project "Deeper Shade of Surf", a documentary I 've been working on about early black surfers....

I'll try to be consistent about writing in my blog. Like a lot of other folks, I feel the need to be able to speak publicly about all sorts of things. I'll try and keep my musings to topics I have some knowledge of. I hope to comment on how technology does and does not help the creative community. Now and then, a bit about politics, though there are plenty of other sites where people spend a lot more time than me researching politics and commenting,surprisingly, they even think along the same lines I do, but hell, sometimes I won't be able to resist.

Finally, bear with me, I am teaching myself web design via Dreamweaver. Hopefully over time this site will improve...
