DiscoGRAPHY

I've been in the software business for 25+ years ... in both small entrepreneurial startups and large matrixed Canada/U.S. organizations. I'm currently doing some web, marketing and business leadership consulting as I seek my next career opportunity. Connect with me professionally and check out my resume on LinkedIn.

Stephen King indie music on Myspace
www.myspace.com/opticfrog
This is my main music site where you can hear new tunes, look at pic's, download lyric / chord charts, check out when the next live gig is, or "add" yourself as a friend.
Stebankag videos on Youtube
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=stebankag
Optic Frog is a melting point and multimedia convergence of technology, web, music, video (and sometimes the kitchen sink). Check out my vid's.
Optic Frog Blog
http://opticfrog.squarespace.com/
What started off as "A Software Executive's journey as a Small Business Entrepreneur trapped in a Musician's body on Web" has meandered into a chaotic conscious stream. Also, check out the TechVibes.com blogs that I contribute to.
A tribute to Brother Dave
www.opticfrog.com/dave.html
As long as there's an "opticfrog.com," this tribute will be online. Kinda like a digital memorial. Dave was one of the really, really good guys. We love and miss you, Dave!
Join me in my house, my office (The Optic Frog Lounge) or playing a live gig in www.secondlife.com; next gen global social networking that's kinda like the Sims on steroids. Check out the li'l movie I made about my experience.
MySpace is cool as a music networking site, but Facebook offers some better features to stay in touch with friends. Come touch me on Facebook. :)
Check out the old opticfrog.com website ... it's more or less a blog (complete with pic's and mp3's) of the last recording days of the double-CD "Fields of Yellow" and the ensuing Dirge gigs (2005-06).
WHAT'S NEWI'm blogging on TechVibes.com!
Jan. 12, 2008 ... I'm pretty excited to start blogging for TechVibes.com; writing about my experieces re-entering the regional Calary high-tech community after a 19+ year career in Canada's tax and accounting software industry (and a brief sabbatical!).
Blogging costs the world $82 billion dollars a year
Sept.7, 2007 ... Been keeping up with my blog pretty regularly: www.opticfrog.squarespace.com. Made me think "how much time / money does the world collectively spend on blogs, anyway?" Calculation appears in the blog entry. Methinks I have too much time on my hands? :)
New Business over Broadway Site
Sept. 3, 2007 ... I've been working with my buddy Dr. Bob Hayes in Seattle to do the Marketing and Web stuff for www.businessoverbroadway.com. Bob's been busy developing Customer Loyalty 2.0: a unique perspective of Advocacy and Purchasing loyalty and has done two studies so far: the wireless industry and PC Manufacturers.
August 3, 2007 ... I took pictures and video of about 6 months of my travels in Second Life and put together this li'l movie with the soundtrack of an electronica guitar trance type song I recorded about 3 years ago. The video looks at Second Life from four dimensions: a psychological customer centric point of view, economic and demographic (size / growth), and fun!
July 15, 2007 ... Emma and I have been writing and recording songs for several years. This "Bug" song (or "Things that start with B") is the latest ... Chloe is singing with Emma, and Art (Chloe's Dad) is laying down the keyboards. Grooooooovy.
