Cast of Characters

Hermie, as played by Bart

Partner and visioncaster Bart, aka Chief Twopointo for his ability to see new technologies beyond the horizon, lives a life of tension between his love of all things digital and a longstanding affair with the printed word.

Kris, at play in the media

President and CEO Kris whiles away the day in a snow-capped ivory tower, dreaming up new products and devising ways to distribute them to the deserving masses in the most expeditious manner imaginable.

Marley, as played by Bob

Soccer goalie and all-around big man, Bob left a perfectly good day job 13 years ago to form Brainstorm. The staff, who have drawn a cumulative 74 years of paychecks from the company, thank him for that. (And secretly worry that, like a puppy, he may some day grow into his paws.)

Max, as played by Ed

Raised splitting time between life on the island Nevis (West Indies) and a peninsula on the Great Lakes means Ed’s never fully at ease in Indiana—and he likes it that way. Known for his left inclinations, he instead leans right. Conservative cynic, liberally Christian, conscientious objectivist, surreptitious sinner, blogger. Label-less, if not libelous.

Ralphie, as played by Paul

The always funny Flashmaster Paul, man of perfect pitch and cartoonist extraordinaire (-ist, not -ish), puts good design in motion and brings insane ideas to life.

Tim, as played by, uh, Tim

Web architect, blog builder, and online maintenance guy nonpareil, Tim can be found over-radiated by multiple monitors, dodging blog design update requests. He translates ideas into the real world, even if it’s a virtual real world. He likes to listen to good music real loud.

Zuzu, as played by Barb

Account manager and blog editor, Barb derives her vast knowledge of current events from the Daily Show. Blamed for all office shenanigans, she only instigates most. She dreams of completing her to-do list and one day hosting ESPN’s Sports Center.
