For 17 months now, one of my best friends, Brandon, has been painstakingly self-publishing a creative-writing, faux lifestyle magazine in the Tempe area. It’s called “Laborliss” and the articles are written by fictional characters (because Laborliss, itself, is a fictional town). For the past 6 issues, I’ve offered to layout the mag, while one of Brandon’s other friends does the illustrations. Brandon’s finally posting full issues online (and I’ve posted it here as well), so if you want a quick and quirky read that works on number of intellectual levels, why not check it out?

For the past several months, I’ve been busy shooting and editing a big project for a good friend, Scott Lang. Scott is sort of the “new” Dr. Tim when it comes to teaching leadership and has been traveling all across the country speaking with countless students in bands, orchestras, choirs, and student counsels. I had the privilege to help create his new DVD which he has named Leadership Survival. It’s 2 hours of content for both students and directors — packed with great and inspiring information for new and seasoned leaders alike. The video below is just a tease, but you can find out more information about the project and Scott at www.scottlang.net.
