He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

It amazes me that Heidi Klum -- not a native English speaker -- can seemingly get through an entire episode of Project Runway without requiring any voice overs, while native English speakers like Donald Trump and Martha Stewart seemingly can't say anything without needing to dub it in correctly later. To be fair, in the case of Trump and Stewart this might have more to do with Mark Burnett's vision of how the show should go than their respective abilities to speak. Burnett's shows seem rather notorious for their obvious redubbing. And it lessens the show every time he does it. This is supposed to be reality television, but voice overs certainly aren't the reality of what happened. They're a writer's version of what happened, or what should have happened. And the more you make me think about what happens behind the scenes the more I begin to think that the whole damn thing is rigged, beginning to end.
