"me me me me me... sonicnet.com"

"You know the drill all too well by this point in time. It's time for the self-deprecating yet ego stroking babble about myself page. It's required by net.law. If I violate this sacred net tradition, my domain name will be taken from me and given to starving school children. My servers will be taken and given to the needy. And I'll be tied to a chair and forced to write HTML for companies that manufacture cardboard boxes or something equally dull."

- Rob Malda

"nice tunes...you play keys?"

I've written a couple of ballads and do piano improv (not blues, though) pretty well. I've given several concert performances at Hertz and Morrison at U.C. Berkeley, at a couple clubs, and other locales.

I also do freelance graphic design for various college dances, and used to sketch things I found interesting up until I was sucked into a relationship around junior year at Berkeley. Sometimes these weren't things that others could see and my sketchpad let me remember what I saw. Anyway, that relationship is long gone now... time to move on.

This is the extent of my creative abilities. I have an assortment of other goofball abilities, like magic tricks, computer games, but the aforementioned stuff is my creative outlet.
