About Me


One bleak weekend afternoon, after way too many hours of programming in his lonely cubicle, Doug Hamilton took down his guitar. He'd spent many years writing and singing about world peace, environmentalism, and unrequited love -- the usual singer-songwriter stuff.
But for some reason today was different. Unexpectedly, out came a song about graphical user interfaces.
There followed in short order new songs about the hard lives of servers, workin' on the help desk, and babyhood in the wired millennium. He had happened upon a rich and almost untouched vein of song material -- what's funny and not-so-funny about cubicle life.
A few years later, after an exhilarating but un-remunerative ride on the dotcom roller-coaster, Doug is once again toiling anonymously in a cube. But in the wee hours, day job and family in momentary abeyance, he secretly pursues his true calling.
On the Internet, and unbeknownst to his co-workers and neighbors, Doug has thousands of listeners and a growing reputation for songs that crystallize the feelings of cube dwellers everywhere. His Internet "hit," Virtual Christmas, received over 16,000 listens in just four weeks on MP3.com. Doug's songs have been featured on the syndicated radio programs Dr. Demento and Into Tomorrow, and have been awarded a top prize in the Loudenergy.com songwriting contest.
