Getting More Out of Golf: GameBook Event Scoring System

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to play the Copperhead course at Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club in Tampa, Florida. I was in town for the 2011 Spring Golf Inc. Conference, and on Monday they had a networking event that allowed attendees and sponsors a chance to play the course. The course actually is home to the Transitions Championship, an event held every year on the PGA Tour. It just so happened that we got the chance to play the course [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with The American Night

Couldn’t tell you where I found these guys, but I am glad I did. When I first heard about this band, I was immediately impressed, and just knew I had to learn more about their music. I schedule an interview and didn’t stop listening to their tunes for days on end. Then Alan Johnson emailed me and asked if I wanted to conduct the interview at his studio. Alan owns Static Shack Studios here in Indianapolis, and it proved to be the perfect setting for an interview [...]

ikelite: Brightest Lights in Their Class

Last fall, I decided that I wanted to become a certified scuba diver. I went to the closest dive shop (which is actually not too far from where I live) and started to learn more about the popular pastime. I talked to a good friend of mine and we decided to get certified together. A few months later, we were certified and ready to start diving all over the world. My first dive trip was actually only a couple of weeks after we were certified, as I went to Aruba the first [...]

Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub April 2011

Chuckie recently revealed his latest tribute to his Dirty Dutch Red Light District residency at Marquee: the Diddy Dirty Money I Hate That You Love Me Chuckie Marquee remix. Inspired by the dancefloor of his monthly Las Vegas residency, Chuckie rolls out his big, dirty house sound right from the start. Perfectly mixing rhythm and melody, he builds the track up with euphoric hooks and big room vocals before letting it explode in a concoction of huge drops [...]

Play! A Video Game Symphony: Jason Michael Paul

It seems like only yesterday. I remember sitting in my living room, playing Super Mario Brothers on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Running that little man across the screen, jumping over mushrooms, and sliding down big green industrial pipes… it was all in a day’s work for Mario! Games have changed over the years, and as the graphics have gotten better I have become more obsessed with gaming. I never got into the role playing games, but sports [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Clint Zimmerman

Not sure why, but I love country music. Maybe it’s because I am from a small town. Or maybe it’s because I have found an appreciation for the lyrics that are pumped out of Nashville. (Well, I say Nashville, as that’s the stereotypical place that produces the best in country tunes.) I enjoy guys that have that twang in their voice, producing a sound that is raw, authentic, and just sounds country. There are only a few guys out there that have it… the guy I am sitting with is one [...]

Top 5 iPhone Fitness Apps

Working out sucks. I hate it. I hate the whole concept of getting dressed, going to the gym, and having no idea what to do when I get there. But thanks to my iPhone, and the iTunes app store, there are a few ways to help get me motivated. Please note that I don’t pay for applications (even though my own official iPhone app is $0.99), so only two of these have I tried myself. But I did do some research on them so that I could adequately speak on their performance [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Jeremy Johnson & The Bleeding Keys

How have I never heard of these guys before? I honestly don’t know who introduced me to this band, perhaps it was my friends in Loo Abby, but I am so glad that someone finally showed me who these guys are. After just hearing one tune I was beyond impressed. They have an almost jam band base, and some of the most well written lyrics I have ever heard. I mean, he talked about “the box with the boom”… who does that? Who does that and gets [...]
