Michael Clark

Position: 
CEO, DJ, Secretary, Janitor
Company: 
Christmas Music 24/7
About the business: 
Christmas Music 24/7 is a network of Internet radio stations which plays Christmas music year-round. The station was launched as a hobby in 2004 and has grown to be the most popular Internet-only Christmas radio station online. While the actual music storage and streaming is done by Live365.com, the web site that supports the stations is run entirely on my ServerBeach server. Most of the station's income comes from advertising on the web site. December 2008 was our busiest Christmas season ever, with nearly 800,000 pages served in December. My other projects include ShowBizRadio.net (providing theater information for the Washington DC region), PlanetMike.com (my technology blog), MichaelClark.name (my personal blog), FractalOfTheDay.com (a different fractal every day), and MichaelClark.net (my site supporting my stage management projects).
Operating system: 
OS X for my day to day work. Because it just works. I can be as technical as I want to be. Centos on the server. Free cost, extremely flexible.
Current project: 
Stage Managing two different shows, one in production, one in rehearsal. Updating the Christmas Music 24/7 site.
Hobbies: 
theater, reading, bicycling
Favourite gadget: 
one really, but I'd love an iPod touch
Hosting story: 
I was with Rackspace for several years, but their costs increased much quicker than I could justify. ServerBeach has generally been a wonderful place to host. The monthly rates are very affordable.
