Red House Media, often referred to as just Red House, was the main d/b/a of my company Cox-Staddon Enterprises, Inc. (CSE) from the time of CSE's formation in 1995 until about 2000, when CSE's business crossed primarily over to vbz.net. "Red House Media" continues to be used in some places on the web site, but we are gradually moving away from it.
I chose the name "Red House Media" because "The Red House" (2895 Danielsville Road) was already a place where small musical events (get-togethers and jam parties) had been known to happen, due largely to the influence of a former tenant (Brian Pope), and I thought it would be good to make use of this association in promoting CSE's first major project, which was selling independent music CDs online. (CSE began selling music online as Red House Media a few months after Amazon started selling books online, though it's not clear whether Amazon had already branched out into CD sales by that time). "Media" referred to recording and data media, with the idea that CSE's focus would be on processing audio, data, and eventually video. Although I did ultimately do some paying work transcribing audio from video tapes, the "media" side of Red House eventually fell by the wayside as I had to focus more and more on vbz.net (including the lawsuit).
