Congressional Reform Act of 2012
I’m not typically a political poster… but, I got this from my uncle last night. Like it so I’m sharing it… if you don’t think something drastic like this needs to be done to keep this country together 25 to 50 years down the road, then you’re not doing your due diligence or you’re just […]

How do we Stir Up New Ideas? Friday’s Creatively Entrepreneurial Question
Friday’s Creatively Entrepreneurial Question (see bottom of post for prizes) It came to me the other evening, when I was performing a quick patent search on Google Patents. You see, back in the early 2000′s, after several years of owning a cell phone, and noticing that, whether it be for safety, or pure convenience, that everyone […]
BRAND – The Midas Touch (Trump & Kiyosaki) Part 3 of 6 (Videos 4a)
In the Information Age, more so than any other age, brand or branding has become one of the central elements to any hugely successful venture. In a time when a face, a tweet, a status update, a photo, or even a video can travel so quickly, and spread viraly, and in a time where entrepreneurs […]
In the Studio with California Dingo – musician, audio engineer, graphic designer, web designer, etc.
I’ve started working with a real audio engineer, in a real studio, for my voice over auditions. Man, the difference in sound is just amazing. Here’s where I give a shout out to the California Dingo, and share some of the work from his own musical endeavors, as well as some mixing and mastering he’s […]
An Intro to My Musical Endeavors
The Widget below has all of the current demo songs that I have posted on http://www.reverbnation.com/rgriles. Most are cover material right now, with a couple of originals. Only one has vocals at this point, but that will change soon. I’m actually seeking female singers that would like to join up with me and be the […]
Happy Birthday Grandma!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm8Iw_FAtDU
Just want to start with a bang! Grandma turned, well, another year older just a couple of weeks ago. I originally decided to record a song for her. So, I plugged in my condenser mic, turned on Adobe Audition, sang the main melody, then sang a bass backup vocal track, then played a little opening blues riff, went into the chords, and outro with another blues riff and there ya go!
But then… well, I thought a video would be more special. Also, I remembered that Google has this “monetizing” thing, so they’ll put ads all over your video and it can possibly make money. Well, for Grandma’s present, I’m going to let her pick a charity and then donate the proceeds for the video in her name!
The video part was a bit tricky. I have a Samsung pocket HD cam that is fantastic, and I had a clip of a sunset in Oahu that I took this past January, a photo of Grandma and I from 15 years ago, and then had to sync my video of me playing with the music I had recorded… Well, shouldn’t have put the cart before the horse but I promise you this is not lip sync (lying). I was singing, it’s just muted and you hear the Adobe Audition version, lol. Through the process, I now have 3 videos on my “channel”, to which you might consider subscribing http://www.youtube.com/users/rgriles33 <—- thanks!.
Anyhow, please check it out for charity and leave some feedback! Great to meet you all! – RG Riles
