About Me

My name is Scott Hamilton.
(This is my name in Mandarin, thanks to Yu-Qun Wu.)
I consider myself a philosophical scientist.
Young at heart yet logical, positive and passionate.
Since I have to work to stay in paradise, I am the Programming and Operations Manager for 7 radio stations in the Florida Keys: WFKZ/WAIL SUN Classic Rock for the Keys on 99.5 & 103.1 , WCTH Thunder Country 100.3 and WKEZ/WKEY Key-Z FM on 93.5 & 96.9 , WEOW 92.7 and WKWF Sports Radio 1600 .

Click HERE to listen live to Thunder Country 100.3
Click HERE to listen live to WEOW 92.7
Click HERE to listen live to Key-Z FM
Listen Monday evenings to the "In The Water" Radio Show, 6p-7p Live from The Pilot House in Key Largo.
Visit their MySpace pages:
The rest of the time I am driving with the top down, playing in the water, watching movies, listening to tunes, cooking, building websites, playing games, going to concerts, eating out, exploring anime, reading and traveling.
(Sometimes I perform combinations of those at the same time!)
I also have a "professional" page on MySpace: www.myspace.com/rockfile .
Please visit and let me know what you think.
I am currently building my own website full of CD and DVD reviews at www.rockfileonline.com . I have not had much opportunity to update it lately due to upgrading my main pc. Expect some major updates very soon.
While living on Grand Cayman Island, I fell in love with scuba diving. I have logged over 200 dives!
These days, the weather is nice, the top is down...life is good!

My buddy Bryn
turned me on to a music site you should check out: www.last.fm . By downloading a small file, the site tracks all the of music you listen to on your PC and/or iPod. It creates charts that track your top artists, songs and more. If you click on a chart it will take you to my page on the site, with more detailed info.

It is free! But, if you pay $3 a month it does even more. Check it out by clicking on a chart.

The site began recording all of my "plays" June 1, 2006.
